The surprise ending to this season was a wave of protests by India’s beauty care platform workers. How did they find each other? Why did they organize? And can they hold up in the face of the company’s intimidation tactics? The season concludes with a look at what we all can do to create a fair care economy.
Guests: Soumyarendra Barik, Indian journalist; Palak Shah, NDWA Labs
