How Uber is driving the welfare of driver-partners

Ride hailing major Uber is now facilitating access to instant micro-loans of up to ₹25,000 for its driver partners in India, linking the terms of their loan to their status in the recently launched ‘Uber Plus’ driver loyalty programme.

This initiative is part of the ride hailing platform’s hyper-focus on welfare of its partner drivers, prompting it to roll out ‘Uber Plus’. Uber has partnered with third party SuperMoney — a digital platform — to provide the short term-loan, which are collateral free, Prabhjeet Singh, Head of Cities, Uber India and South Asia, told BusinessLine.
