These rest lounges feature comfortable seating for up to 25 people, clean drinking water, charging points for mobile phones, and washrooms.In a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, the Greater Chennai Corporation has opened two swanky, air-conditioned rest lounges exclusively for gig workers, offering much-needed relief to food, grocery, and parcel delivery personnel who navigate the city daily under extreme conditions.
Designed with a modern Scandinavian aesthetic, these rest lounges feature comfortable seating for up to 25 people, clean drinking water, charging points for mobile phones, and well-maintained washrooms.
The pilot project, built at Rs 25 lakh, marks a significant step toward recognizing the needs of thousands of partners employed with food delivery platforms.
For many delivery workers, especially women, these lounges are more than just a place to sit – they’re a safe and dignified space.
