Different priorities

A day after Uber started on-road testing for its first fleet of driverless cabs in the United States, the cab-hailing app's India president, Amit Jain (pictured), faced a bouncer. Addressing an industry meet where his company unveiled plans to hire a million drivers in India, he was asked if it had plans to offer a driverless cab service in India as well. After a moment's awkward silence, Jain brushed aside the question -the priorities for India, he reiterated, were different. As proof of its commitment to creating jobs, Uber had, a few minutes before that exchange, paraded aspiring women cabbies in front of a cheering audience and handed over the keys to brand new vehicles to two drivers.
