<ul><li>Ride-sharing servers like Uber will likely be allowed to resume services once the lockdown lifts, but they’re not taking any chances. </li><li>A TikTok video of an Uber ride in Gurgaon over the driver wearing a mask and sitting in a seat shielded with plastic has gone viral. </li><li>The company has also issued new guidelines, for rider and customer, to mitigate any tension that may arise due to an accidental cough or sneeze. </li></ul>Calling an Uber won’t be the same anymore once the lockdown lifts. Drivers in India are going to be wearing a mask and — as an additional precautionary measure — their seats may be covered in plastic, according to a video that was posted on TikTok yesterday. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> The cab is a relatively enclosed space. Even a sneeze or an accidental cough that create tension between the rider and the driver. Putting a plastic cover ensures that even when social distancing isn’t physically possible, the risk of contamination is mitigated to a certain extent. Uber’s new safety guidelines For over two months the ride-sharing company has been asking its customers to stay at home as much as possible. And, now that the lockdown may be lifted in many parts of India come May 18, they’re not going to take any chances, according to a company <a href="https://www.uber.com/en-GB/newsroom/your-second-first-trip/">blog post</a>. All drivers, before being allowed to accept any riders, will have to check-in through a ‘Go Online Checklist’ to verify that their face is covered, And the same will apply to riders as well. In addition, every time you want to take an Uber, you’ll have to sit in the backseat with the windows open. That means, no matter how hot it gets, air-conditioning won’t be an option. If you find that your driver isn’t wearing a mask, you’re allowed to cancel your ride without the prerequisite penalty that was imposed before. What’s new are the plastic screens. Even though the measure wasn’t outlined in Uber’s safety guidelines, the driver in the TikTok video — allegedly in Gurgaon's Udyog Vihar — has a plastic screen shielding his seat, not unlike drivers in China with the country’s Didi ride-hailing service. While more viewers have lauded the efforts made by <keyword id="2502101" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uber-India">Uber India</keyword>, others are wondering whether they'll be allowed to make cash payments in the comments. The toll of the lockdown hasn’t been easy Uber. Just two days ago, on May 14, it laid off over 3,500 of its employees over a three-minute Zoom call. Taking precautions is one of the key ways that the company will be able to get back to business once the lockdown lifts.

Google leases a mind-boggling 430k sq ft office space in Gurgaon for its new office!

From 300 staff in 2013 <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword> has expanded its workforce by more than fourfold in one year, crossing the 5,000 mark in April this year. 

	The New Delhi-based company hired extensively in technology, operations and supply chain segments. About 20 per cent of its current employees are in technology operations, where it plans to add another 1,000 in about six months to work on big data, mobile services, analytics, cloud infrastructure and web technology. 
 According to HR head <keyword id="2850599" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saurabh-Nigam">Saurabh Nigam</keyword>, the main reason for Snapdeal's success is its people. And, talent acquisition is one of the areas where competition is very intense. 

	"These days, the competition is so fierce that positions have to be closed in three weeks as compared to a turnaround time of three months in other industries. The major challenge that the company faces is map onto diversity of profiles, right talent, handle sheer volume and pace when hiring," he said.
 

	The next major focus of hiring is expected in logistics - fulfillment parks under 'Snapdeal Plus'. It has around 50 fulfillment centres in 20 cities and has plans to expand the number to 75 across 30 cities this year. Snapdeal is looking to get more sellers on its platform to stock products at its fulfillment centres so that deliveries can be processed quickly. 
 It made several senior-level hirings in the past year. As much as 60-70 per cent of these were done via social media and personal referrals, said Nigam. Snapdeal has a leadership hiring team which works directly under cofounders <keyword id="219793" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kunal-Bahl">Kunal Bahl</keyword> and <keyword id="396598" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rohit-Bansal">Rohit Bansal</keyword>, as the company looks to strengthen the management with executives who can prepare it for an initial public offerings in the next two years or so informs Nigam. 

	Snapdeal is considering setting up a base in the US, in its efforts to strengthen its technology arm, hire more specialists and become the first Indian consumer Internet company to establish a presence in the world's biggest startup hub. 
 

	Internally, the company is working towards developing staff policies such as Advitya, an initiative to get mothers on break to join the workforce, hire boomerangs (people who have once worked at the company) and create a strong alumni network that is informed of Snapdeal opportunities. 
 

	As the company has expanded quickly, it is relocating to a new office in Udyog Vihar, Gurgaon, in July-August. It is spread across 4.5 lakh sq ft and can house more than 4,000 employees. 
 

	The platform, started in February 2010 by Bahl and Bansal as a daily deals platform named MoneySaver, currently has more than 1.5 lakh sellers, offering around 12 million products in more than 500 categories. The company is looking to add another 1 lakh sellers to the list this year. Snapdeal has eight offices in Delhi, one in Bengaluru and regional offices in Chennai, Surat, Kolkata and other smaller cities.
