Indian women protest policy changes at Urban Company
Over the years, Urban Company, which in 2014 offered women economic independence in India, a country that has very low female participation in the workforce, has increasingly removed flexibility and autonomy for its workers while raising the cost of getting started as a worker on the app to the equivalent of two months' salary. Urban Company disputes this characterisation. In June 2024, dozens of women workers began a protest outside the company's office in Bengaluru, calling the company a monopoly. (Video clip)
