PAIGAM (People’s Association in Grassroots Action and Movement), a Delhi based organization is an aggregator of activists, researchers, practitioners and organizations that aims to bring together social efforts at the local, national and global levels through media advocacy and action research.
Our young and dynamic multi-disciplinary team has been supporting the partnering organisations and their respective works to reach a wider audience using a variety of digital technologies.
This is our way of encouraging borderless international cooperation and local engagement in order to more efficiently address socio, economic and political problems and challenges.
Our Work
Our Network
Our ongoing endeavors have allowed us to structure an extensive web of change agents, individuals from diverse social strata sharing our mission of societal fairness. This web includes labor unions, academicians, political activists, welfare workers, and innumerable others who've played a key role in realizing our goals. We're strategically situated in the country's core, New Delhi, acting as an initiator in rallying people, augmenting voices, and aiding studies that pave the way for structural renovation. Our web has exemplified that even in the face of substantial hurdles, in times of dire need, those bearing the most risks continue to unite for communal welfare.
The motivation behind this study was to establish a solid foundation of reference data, recognizing that without reliable information, app-based workers across India could face significant challenges as local authorities move toward policy regulation. This research aims to address the gap in policy formation by providing essential data that reflects the realities of these workers' lives.
Our study seeks to return to the drivers and riders something they already possess—the knowledge of their day-to-day operations—by systematically gathering and analyzing their experiences. With over 10,000 surveys collected from 8 cities across India, this research stands as one of the most comprehensive studies in the sector to date. We are optimistic that we have succeeded in establishing a baseline standard for industry data, and we hope that future research will build upon and exceed the benchmark we have set.
