The concept stresses entering into short-term contracts and does not promise any permanent job. The employees in the Gig economy with temporary work relationships are also referred to as gig workers. Any unexpected change in the pulse of the economy has an impact on the gig economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy and the gig workers over the last few months. This book chapter provides a timely intervention into the gig workers, particularly the food delivery executives in India. Their remunerations, benefits, and difficulties from a pandemic perspective are included in the chapter. The authors try to bring in the employees views of the work they do and the differences, which have been brought in as an aftermath of the pandemic. The chapter also throws light on the recent government initiatives to benefit gig workers in the economy.
