There are many opportunities for transportation in India, which have not been adequately utilized yet. India is one of the largest markets by volume and it is growing rapidly. Uber, a company providing app-based taxi services, has said this. According to PTI news, Prabhjit Singh, President of India and South Asia of the company, said on Friday that despite the better range of products and services and strong growth, the company has just started in India. Uber described India as a very important market, which can provide opportunities for the ride-hailing platform for many decades.
Uber will continue to bring modern innovations
According to the news, Prabhjeet said that transportation giant Uber will continue to bring modern innovations to the market and will also take its India-first innovations to the rest of the world. He said that we are progressing rapidly, yet a lot remains to be done. The India business is based on several growth engines, including Uber Auto and Moto. The company's top executive says that intense competition in any market or category is a sign that the sector is growing incredibly fast and attracting new innovations.
Advocacy for laws like Social Security Code
On the Labor Ministry's proposed social security framework for gig workers, Singh said Uber has always been at the forefront in advocating for laws like the Social Security Code. Let us tell you here, temporary employees working for online platforms are called gig workers. The official said that we are already encouraging drivers to register through the e-Shram platform.
We stand ready to contribute to the 'Code' of the Social Security Fund, which can fund the efforts needed to support 'gig' labour. He said that we think this can become a gold-standard model for many countries. Uber wants immediate and immediate implementation. The company is ready to adopt it from day one.
