Are Indian workers becoming like Western counterparts?

India is rolling out a set of simplified labour codes to modernise outdated laws. Unions describe the changes as sweeping and aggressive. So, who stands to benefit -- workers seeking job security and fair wages? Or employers looking for flexibility and lower staffing costs?

In this episode: 

• Harshil Sharma - Labour economist who specialises in reforms and welfare 
• Surbhi Kesar - Senior Lecturer in Economics at SOAS University of London
• Sudip Dutta - National Secretary of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions
