Trying to further understand, I am unsure why a top Uber executive would need to obtain an actual medical record of a customer who was assaulted in her Uber ride? I can't see what value the medical record would bring for Uber as a company, which in the likelihood will contain medical terminology, that substantiates whether the incident occurred or not. Wouldn't their lawyers be involved with the proceedings, as the likelihood that the company would be included in the trial can be deemed possible as the incident happened in the confines of the business that revolves around them? On a side note as well, will the names of the people fired be published? Will these people fired be actually penalized, or would they simply be hired with another company and simply move on from the incident?

My guess is that wanted to get evidence to know if this was real or a plot by local taxi companies. Having heard about business in India, bribes and plots to cause harm to your rivals, are the normal course of business. This is a terrible way of dealing with it, but I absolutely get it. Uber just doesn't have any finesse about dealing with local politics and PR. They just seem to brute force everything. The idea and execution with uber has been great. They seem to be terrible with everything else.

Oh, what have you heard about business in India, Alastair Gould. I think that really does need a citation. Oh yeah, I forgot I'm shadowbanned, Although, at least I'm not a racist fuck, right Al?

    Yes, which is one of the reasons west corporations don't get india. Bribes in india are accepted business practice, in western countries they are not. In india is fairly common to pay "administration fees" in order expedite documentation, and licences, otherwise it might get "lost".
