High Quality Jobs - At the Edge

These platforms bring in new efficiencies. As a result, the same jobs pay more
than before.

With better demand matching, cab drivers drive more with Ola / Uber than before
- hence earn more, and have more control on their life.

Flipkart merchants sell more, and have lower costs of sale - hence make more
money than before!
