New Delhi, Jan. 14 -- Quick-commerce platforms have assured the Union government they would drop 10-minute delivery promises to customers after a series of meetings with Union labour minister Mansukh Mandaviya, two people aware of the development said on Tuesday. Such service providers employ gig workers, who held strikes on Christmas and New Year's eve in 2025 to draw attention what they say are unsafe delivery demands made of them and the lack of adequate health, safety and income protections in the event of accidents. The move follows discussions steered by the labour ministry last week. Minister Mansukh Mandaviya raised the issues flagged by gig worker unions and asked platforms to refrain from "branding" tight deadlines. Blinkit, one of the largest such companies, revised its tag-line from "10,000+ products delivered in 10 minutes" to "30,000+ products delivered at your doorstep" on Tuesday, and its competitors Swiggy and Zepto were expected to follow suit, the people quoted above added.P10...
