A Delhi-based Uber driver recently shared his remarkable achievement of completing 50,000 trips. In a video posted on Driving with Uber India's Instagram, the driver named Hajrat discussed his journey, revealing how it started and how it's going. The video sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many saying that earnings aren't similar to what Hajrat has claimed.
Hajrat said that his friend told him to join Uber, suggesting that the ride-hailing company gives "good work". "I am not educated at all. I am from Uttar Pradesh," he said in the video. "I worked in a sewing company for three years. After that, I got a car through a friend."
While reacting, Hajrat said that he is not educated, and how will he manage? "You have to check locations and all," he said. But his friend said that it's not very hard. "If you keep working slowly, you will learn with experience," his friend told him.
