Uber has partnered with the Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) under the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the purpose of creating opportunities for ex-servicemen on its platform.

AWPO provides entrepreneurship opportunities and assists in the placement of Indian Army ex-servicemen in private sector jobs.

AWPO MD Major General Deepak Sapra said, ” At AWPO, we believe everyone who has served our country deserves the dignity to be able to support themselves when they return to the civilian workforce.

That’s why we are proud to be working with Uber to extend flexible, well paid work to thousands of our ex-service members”.

AWPO, as a part of the partnership, will refer the potential ex-servicemen who wish to become driver partners on the Uber platform.
