Not OP, but here is my take.
While Ola and Uber would not actually aim to be philanthropic companies, they definitely have enabled people to come from different walks of like and become a driver. I have met many drivers who came from villages to drive and support their family, and Ola and Uber made it very easy for them to get started.
Overall, good for a larger segment of the society i would say.

Those people leave rural farming jobs and come to cities, because irrigation infrastructure is in shambles. Farming is not open to free market economics, there is not enough water, and overall its not profitable. They sell what they have and inhale CO day in and out to put food on the table. Farmer to cabbie ain't exactly a good career transition.
- kkarakk 8y agoola/uber cannot affect infrastructure. even companies like google have tried and failed to compete in infrastructure oriented areas(google fiber). until infrastructure is privatised(which opens up it's own can of worms) farming is a dead end in developing nations.
- 0815test 8y agoMany rural farming jobs are seasonal - there's nothing much to do for part of the year so no matter how successful the farming is, they're still better off coming to the city and earning an income there.
