Ex-NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has backed Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal amid the ongoing gig economy debate, saying, "Gig jobs are set to grow from 7.7M to 23.5M by 2030 — among India's largest job-creation engines." Criticising AAP leader Raghav Chadha's take on the matter, Kant wrote, "Raghav Chadha and AAP are not job creators; they are job killers."
