Why not Uber in Gua? The IM Alum post shows the real reason no one dares to allow it

Uber is not prohibited in Goa. It has been eliminated mathematically.

“Tourists continue to ask: Why is Uber not in Gawa? The answer is not a policy. It is simple mathematics.”

This is how Looksh ahuja, an IIM business scheme and a LinkedIn post that now spins a conversation beyond corporate circuits.

Its collapse of the Ghawah emptiness in riding the ride does not depend on the government ban or the outdated laws. It depends on the local solid economy – and the amazing calculation and differential integration.

Start with the numbers. Goa has 24,000 taxi drivers. Most of them are the only isolated, and the four families support.

This is approximately 100,000 people tied to the economy of taxi. But these drivers are not behind the wheel. “Drivers also work as commissants – directing tourists to hotels, cruises, shops and cocaints,” AHUJA notes. Their profits through the entire tourism sector.

Treat this in, and the number of livelihoods connected to these informal network balloons to 200,000.

Now the application of policy. About 75 % of these individuals are likely to be qualified voters. This is 1.5 votes for Cham – more than one in ten of the total voters in air. “There is no politician to touch that,” he writes. “You lose 1.5 votes for cz. Earn zero.”

Why zero? Because the local population in Gawa does not ask Uber. With 882 vehicles per 1000 people – four times on a national average – the residents are driving themselves. The only people who yearn for horseback services are tourists. And tourists, ahuja indicates dry, do not vote.

The implicit meaning is clear: the presentation of Uber is not just an economic disruption – it is a political suicide.

The differentiation and complementarity account may change in the end. The aging of the population, the transition to nuclear families, and an increasing appetite for rest can build the domestic demand for taxis again. Until then, the cabin wars remain “parked”, as AHUJA said, and Uber remains abroad.

“Goa does not need to reform politics,” he concludes. “It needs to change mathematics.”
