India, June 29 -- Major consumer internet companies Swiggy, Zepto, Urban Company and Eternal have jointly moved the Karnataka High Court (HC) challenging the constitutional validity of the Karnataka Platform Based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Act, 2025.

The consortium of the startup unicorns argue that the law creates a parallel regulatory framework to the Centre's already existing social security framework for gig workers. The matter is yet to be listed before the High Court.

As per a report by the Bar and Bench, the writ petition filing is led by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), along with Eternal, Zepto, Swiggy, Urban Company and Meesho's logistics arm Valmo.
