Welfare Fees, Welfare Boards and Platform Capture
Karnataka’s Platform-Based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Act, 2025, marks a first-of-its-kind state-level attempt to extend social protection to app-based gig workers. The law imposes a differential welfare levy of 1–5% on platform payouts, establishes a Gig Workers’ Welfare Board and Social Security Fund, and requires platforms to register workers, issue unique IDs, and report earnings through a digital Payment and Welfare Fee Verifi…
Conditionality in Climate Finance
This article analyses why conditionality persists in climate finance and how it can be redesigned to reconcile effectiveness with climate justice. Building on the principal-agent theory, the political economy of aid conditionality, and distributive and procedural justice frameworks, it conceptualises conditionality as layered governance. Using process tracing of the COP27–COP30 sequence and comparative analysis of finance instruments such as Just…

This study investigates job-shifting patterns among delivery workers at Zomato and Swiggy using Roy’s self-selection model.

These platforms promise efficiency, transparency, and scalable service delivery; yet, emerging research shows that they rarely transform the structural precarity faced by informal workers. Evidence from waste…

While public debate focused on grading and admissions, this study centres student voices in Odisha—a state marked by educational and digital inequalities—to understand how they navigated the disruption. Using data from 510 students, interviews, and institutional documents from four public universities, t…
