ABSTRACT
Cab drivers and delivery executives face significant occupational hazards. They often work long hours in extreme weather, navigate congested roads, and face the risk of accidents. Many lack proper safety gear or insurance coverage. The physical strain of such work—coupled with long exposure to pollution and irregular meals—affects both physical and mental health. The main objective of the present research is to level the stress among the gig economy workers—a comparative analysis of cab drivers and delivery executives in Bangalore city. A total of 810 gig economy workers were selected
as the sample for the study. The sample comprised 342 cab drivers and 468 delivery executives, ensuring adequate representation of the two major categories of gig workers operating in Bangalore city. A structured questionnaire was used for the data collection along with secondary data sources. Linear regression was used as a statistical tool for the data analysis to find out the significant impact on the level of stress of gig workers. The results found that both psychological and physical factors
affect the stress level of both cab drivers and delivery executives in Bangalore.

Key words: Psychological, Physical, Cab Drivers, Delivery Executives, Level of Stress, Gig.
