Not India, but my favorite example was the Kiwi food delivery robot fleet in Berkeley, CA. They were controlled manually from Colombia, and from the looks of it, seems like one person was trying to drive 20 robots at once.

A lot of these robot delivery things need to go out with a human handler 100 yards back lest people try and kick them open it seems. Whats the point at that point? Just have the person walk it over.
These ones didn't have a human handler. I think a lot of them just got broken into. I've also seen one get run over by a truck before because it wandered into the road.

Also, even if nothing went wrong, they were so slow that I can't imagine people actually used them. Wonder if they were just pretending to deliver stuff.
