That may be, but are they equal or more profitable than the Uber, et al model? I'm willing to bet if it were that they would be doing that instead. These companies are in the U.S. where maxing profits/shareholder value vs. taking care of employee needs (or any other need) is generally the name of the game for a major majority of companies.

India is not some unicorn where employee needs are prioritised particularly highly; there’s plenty of egregious labour violations that happen in India.

It’s just that Uber and co are overwrought beasts that never had a successful plan in mind.
