What's the story
Uber, the global ride-hailing giant, has launched a new subscription service 'Uber One' in India. The move comes as part of the company's efforts to lure more customers as competition heats up in the country's ride-hailing market. The Uber One service comes with monthly, quarterly, and annual plans for users to pick from. The service boasts over 25 million members globally. It has been available in the US since 2021 and in Canada for the last year.

Uber supports government's code on social security
Uber has also extended its support to the Indian government's Code on Social Security (CoSS) to ensure a safety net for gig workers. The company is encouraging registrations on the e-Shram portal, a unified database for gig and unorganized workers. The move is in line with Uber's commitment to making its platform "safer, easier, and fairer" for its drivers.
