Assuming this question is asked in good faith, this is obviously not the right way or anyone's idea of distributing wealth. And ultimately this is for Uber's profit, not the good of India.

I don't think it's fair to assume the quality of Indian workers is worse. They are paid less purely because of cost of living and locational differences. Uber is smart enough to know this and it's the exact reason they will end up paying less for similar quality.
Also, in every company there are jobs that are trivial and jobs that require talent. I assume the more trivial jobs like bug fixing will be outsourced, while the rest of the engineers are kept for product design.
