Here's how Uber is letting you earn from its platform 'UberDost'



UberDOST (Hindi for 'friend') is an India-first initiative for anyone to act as Uber affiliates. It's an app where anyone can sign up on Uber and refer drivers to join the platform and earn from it.

While drivers usually have their own solid network, the referral policy has been introduced so that it benefits both the organization as well as the drivers.
