What is the average annual salary of an OLA / Uber/ Meru cab driver in Hyderabad?

This happened recently in Hyderabad. My ride was from my Office (mindspace, hitech city) to SR Nagar. And I was waiting for my OLA cab.

ME: Thanks for coming on time, I was worried.
Ola Driver: Smiles.

After a few Kms, I noticed there was no music player in the cab. So  I started the conversation. (In Telugu)

Me: Sir, This car looks so new, is this your car?
OD: Yes sir, I purchased it few weeks back, this is my 2nd Car.

Me: Oh that's nice. So you must be making a lot of money.
OD: Gods grace sir... this new business has helped me a lot. I moved to Hyderabad 2 years back in search of a Job, i was driving cabs for Airport Pickup/Dropsand a friend introduced me to this.

Me: Nice. Can I know how much you make? Just curious.
OD: It depends. I start my trip as early as 6AM and goes till 10 PM. In a week, I make about 25,000 to 30,000.

Me: *gasps* Oh, So what's your total salary per month. Sorry if its personal
OD: Its not a monthly salary. They pay me on a weekly basis taking the account of number of trips I've made and bonus for the service and user's travel experience ratings.

Me: So, you have to pay for the fuel?
OD: Yeah, I spend around 20k to 25k per month on fuel (most of the fuel goes waste in traffic, he giggled)

Me: *Calculating the overall money he makes a month in my mind*  :P

Me: Hope you are happy with this job and satisfied.
OD: Want more do I need sir

My destination came and I was settling the amount.  Wonder full guy :)

So on an average, after the fuel & maintenance cost,
Ola drivers make about 15k for 13trips to 20k for 18 trips.
Ola Driver com Owner makes about 30k for micro, mini
Ola Driver com Owner makes about 50+k for Prime
Ola Driver com Owner makes about 60+k for SUV


ALL The BEST Guys......
80,000 to 90,000 a month. This particular driver has 2 cars and makes about 1,60,000 to 1,80,000 a month
