Pradeep Parameswaran, President, Uber India and South Asia said that there can be no Uber without our driver partners, who are the centre of our business. Their safety and well being will always be our top priority. The roll-out of Uber Care to all driver partners in India is a major milestone for us and reiterates our commitment to the community. With the launch of this one-of-a-kind program, the company’s goal is to be the preferred choice for anyone pursuing the opportunity of becoming a driver partner with Uber. The company believes that Uber Care will give its driver partners and their families much more financial security and stability, he said.
Uber Care facilitates driver partners across the country with access to a life insurance program with insured sums ranging from INR 2 lacs to 10 lacs from HDFC Life. Additionally, the program also includes a separate family health insurance coverage including the driver partner, his/her spouse and first two children from Reliance General Insurance. Driver partners can also access microloans within a range of INR 5,000 up to INR 25,000 at a monthly interest rate of 2% from Supermoney (GetClarity Fintech Services Pvt Ltd). With the introduction of Uber Care, the company aims to extend its support not just to driver partners but their families as well, providing them with financial security and stability.
Furthermore, Uber recently organized Uber SuperDay in India for the very first time, a unique driver partner appreciation event that offered exclusive products, services, discounts and interactive experiences. This was part of a global initiative that the company undertook across a total of 40 cities in India, USA, Mexico and Brazil.
