Episode Details

In Delhi’s bustling Lajpat Nagar market, a new service called CarryMen is turning heads—offering affordable bag-carrying assistants for just 79 rupees for 30 minutes. Born from two mothers’ struggles shopping with toddlers, it’s gaining traction as a lifeline for pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. While some hail it as a job-creating innovation, others question its ethics, comparing assistants to “coolies.” Founders insist their workers are full-time employees, not gig laborers, and share heartwarming stories of trust and respect. With plans to expand to Chandni Chowk and beyond, CarryMen’s future hinges on maintaining fair labor practices—especially as platform-based services often face scrutiny over worker treatment.
