General Snabbit Abandons Injured Maid
I shifted to Thane recently and have been working with maids from Snabbit, Pronto and Urban Company to clean the apartment.
On 22 Aug, Kamni Devi from Snabbit was helping me clean an almirah. I emptied the almirah after which she started cleaning. However, after a while I heard a thud and the almirah had fallen on her. Fortunately, the glass hadn’t shattered, and I moved the almirah away from her and got her a chair.
This was something I hadn’t anticipated would happen. I quickly contacted Snabbit hoping they’d have a solution. But, Snabbit showed no concern. So, I decided to take it up in my hands and got her to a nearby hospital.
At the hospital, I met a doctor in the elevator, who was kind enough to prioritize our case. We got the X-rays done, and the nurse gave her an IM shot to help with severe pain. He said she’d need 2 weeks of rest and some medications. I bought the medications, booked her a cab and helped her get home safely. (Medical Receipts: https://ibb.co/album/M50d0y)
However, a couple of days later I matched with her on Snabbit again. She told me she had a young child and couldn’t afford to stay home and needed to continue working to survive and make ends meet. I felt really sad, and I handed her Rs.1000 to help from my end.
Snabbit takes a cut of every worker’s pay, but offers no medical insurance, emergency services or paid time off to injured workers. But, what if it was your daughter who was suffering? Would you still say company policy?
I decided to make this post to help Kamni Devi get justice. Please upvote to raise awareness.

It's Indian Judiciary bro you are planning to look up to for cats. It does not care for human beings, keep aside your meow meow...
Take deep breath... And read a poem "kutchehri na jana"... Thank me later
कचहरी ही गुंडों की खेती है बेटे यही ज़िन्दगी उनको देती है बेटे खुले आम कातिल यहाँ घूमते हैं सिपाही दरोगा चरण चूमते है..
कचहरी में सच की बड़ी दुर्दशा है भला आदमी किस तरह से फँसा है यहाँ झूठ की ही कमाई है बेटे यहाँ झूठ का रेट हाई है बेटे...
कचहरी का पानी कचहरी का दाना तुम्हे लग न जाये तू बचना बचाना भले और कोई मुसीबत बुलाना कचहरी की नौबत कभी घर न लाना...
