An agreement has been signed by the taxi-hailing app Uber and the Government of Maharashtra for creating 75,000 jobs across the state.
Uber, under the memorandum of understanding (MoU), will be focusing on training women and people from marginalised sectors of society.
Uber has said in a statement that “This is to promote equal and fair opportunity for all sectors of society to earn sufficient fares as independent entrepreneurs on the platform.”
It further added that this move would train and provide 75,000 new job opportunities across Maharashtra over the next 5 years.
