🚨 The Dark Side of the EV Cab Revolution? 🚨
Tried the new Green SM EV cab in Delhi today. On the surface? Clean, spacious 6-seaters. But the reality behind the wheel is a completely different story.
Here is the “Promise vs. Reality” breakdown:
❌ Consumer Promise: Cabs at half the rate of normal cabs.
📉 Reality: Cost me ₹250, the exact same as Uber.
❌ Driver Promise: ₹35,000/month with WEEKLY payouts.
📉 Reality: Drivers haven’t been paid for a WHOLE MONTH.
Drivers are putting in 20-hour days—between 10-hour driving shifts, 3 hours of commuting to distant hubs, and waiting 4-5 hours just to charge the cars because of zero infrastructure.
As an advocate, seeing gig workers and drivers being blatantly denied their rightful, promised wages is a massive red flag.
You cannot build a sustainable business in India by exploiting your workforce and breaching basic payout agreements.
What are your thoughts on companies exploiting gig workers like this? Let’s discuss in the comments. 👇⚖️
