'Enlighten us': Kunal Kamra questions Blinkit CEO

.

Comedian Kunal Kamra made headlines with his sharp response to Blinkit co-founder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa’s post which highlighted the most-ordered items on the quick-commerce platform during New Year’s Eve.

In a post on X on December 31, 2024, Dhindsa revealed, “1,22,356 packs of condoms, 45,531 bottles of mineral water, 22,322 Partysmart and 2,434 Eno are enroute right now! Prep for after party?”

Kamra, soon after, shared Dhindsa’s post and posed a cutting question regarding the average wages paid to Blinkit delivery agents last year: “Can you also enlighten us with data on the average wages you paid your ‘Delivery Partners’ in 2024...”

“While we enjoy the convenience of quick commerce I’d like my first tweet of 2025 to be about the dark side. Platform owners exploit gig workers and they aren’t job creators. They are landlords without owning any land. They don’t have a bone of creativity or innovation all they do is exploit people by offering them freedom that they can’t afford while giving them wages that can’t meet their aspirations. They are thugs that are using data as oil without paying for the oil fields. Someday there will be regulation that humbles them,” Kamra said.
