To be fair, they sound like any new car dealer here (get the sale and often the auto-loan sale as well).

Except these people would never get loans without Uber's backing. Indian lenders are notoriously risk averse and make it very hard for self-employed people to get loans.

Moreover, without Uber's (formerly) juicy carrot, they would never be in the market for a car in the first place
