Book Title: Dynamics of Indian Gig Economy: A Pathway to VikSIT Bharat 2047

Dynamics of Indian Gig Economy: A Pathway to VikSIT Bharat 2047 presents a comprehensive and analytical exploration of the evolving gig economy in India and its significance within the country’s long-term developmental vision. The book examines gig work not as a temporary labour trend but as a structural transformation in employment patterns driven by digital platforms, technological advancement, and changing economic priorities. The text systematically analyses the conceptual foundations of the gig economy, its historical evolution in India, and the diverse forms of gig work across sectors such as logistics, transportation, professional services, and home-based work. It further investigates how digital platforms, algorithmic management, and data-driven systems are reshaping work organisation, labour relations, and income generation. Alongside economic contributions, the book gives critical attention to labour conditions, income instability, occupational risks, social security gaps, and worker well-being, highlighting the vulnerabilities embedded within platform-based employment. A key strength of the book lies in its policy-oriented approach. It engages with existing regulatory frameworks, labour codes, and government initiatives while identifying gaps in protection and governance. By linking gig work to employment generation, digital inclusion, skill development, and long-term national goals, the book situates the gig economy within the broader vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Overall, this book serves as a valuable academic and policy resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking a balanced, evidence-based understanding of India’s gig economy and its role in shaping the future of work.
