OTP Please
About This Book
The way we shop, eat, travel, work and sell is shifting fast because of technology. Platforms like Swiggy, Amazon and Uber in India, Foodpanda in Pakistan, and Pathao in Bangladesh and Nepal have made daily life easier. They save us time, employ millions of grateful people, and bring us treats and last-minute necessities at a tap. Behind the polish, though, much remains hidden. Gig workers live precariously, online sellers struggle under the harsh rules set by global giants, and consumers wonder whether there is a price to be paid for instant gratification and extreme convenience. Vandana Vasudevan explores this new world of electronic commerce through stories and viewpoints collected across South Asia, from Peshawar to Patna and from Colombo to Kathmandu. She looks at the emotional dynamics among the people involved, how the tech companies actually operate, and what it all means for policy. Deeply researched and written in an easy, readable style, OTP Please helps readers make sense of the digital age we now live in.
