Sunil picks me up promptly at 0900. He’s from Kerala, but he’s been in Mumbai for a while.

He tells me he first started working for a German company as a day laborer. They saw potential in him and taught him to drive, after which he became the private driver for an executive for 3 years until they were moved to Singapore.
