A lot of people from northeastern states off india tend to migrate to banglor mumbadelli. In other parts of india, it's not so easy for them because they are already racialized in a particular way. A beauty and wellness as an occupation has been one of those easier places to enter. And kind of focusing on it instead of so many f the other forms of work that happen on these platforms.
Paris Marx is joined by Noopur Raval to discuss India’s gig economy, the specific conditions of women who provide services through beauty and wellness apps, and how workers organize to improve their conditions.
