Uber has turned to a government portal to source credible drivers to expand operations in Delhi in the hopes of avoiding further scandal like the India rape case last year. The company is looking to partner with drivers registered on the national career service (NCS) portal, which is expected to have a pool of job-seekers, verified and authenticated by the government. A senior labour ministry official said that Uber executives are in talks with the government to explore the possibility of recruiting drivers through the recently launched portal.
