Why is Uber India President Prabhjeet Singh bullish on three-wheelers?

Even as businesses were recovering after the first Covid wave last year, the second one struck India earlier this year and hit all businesses, including ride-sharing platforms, as well as the broader economy. Now that the coronavirus situation is getting better and the economy is on a recovery path, how is the ride-sharing business faring? In an exclusive interview with Business Standard’s Surajeet Das Gupta, Uber president for India and South Asia, Prabhjeet Singh, seemed upbeat about the business recovery.

He said he was bullish on segments like autorickshaw and also spoke about his company’s India R&D work, and the implementation of social security benefits for gig workers.
