Uberising Faster And Better: What India Can Learn From UK Verdict On Treating Drivers As Workers by R Jagannathan - Feb 24, 2021 06:09 AM The Uber app. (NICOLAS MAETERLINCK/AFP/GettyImages) Snapshot Uberisation will get a bad name if it is equated with exploitation of workers desperately in need of incomes.
