Giving gig workers free money is useless: Zomato CEO Goyal

Responding to protests over gig worker wages and his ₹700 crore foundation, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal doubled down on his refusal to simply raise pay. He argued that distributing "free money" doesn’t last and prefers building long-term wealth systems instead. He dismissed the criticism as "not making sense", prioritising his personal vision of systemic change over immediate wage hikes.
