Gen Z Uber Black driver in Bengaluru posts ~Rs 46k week

22-year-old Hamtor Debbarma’s viral video shows big week; he frames gig work as chosen flexibility, not failure.

Bengaluru Uber Black driver Hamtor Debbarma, 22, went viral after a day-in-the-life clip showed roughly Rs 46,000 (£355) in a week’s earnings.

India Today reports the B.Com graduate chose premium Uber Black for his love of cars rather than a conventional office path, balancing rides with content creation and entrepreneurship interest. He says income varies with hours and he will not define the job only by pay; memorable moments include a priest who prayed for his future. The piece also notes peers such as another 22-year-old ex-finance consultant and Bhawna, a woman driving for two-plus years. Treat the Rs 46,000 figure as his claimed week, not a guaranteed average.
