Synopsis

Algorithms is a play inspired from the interviews of life stories of migrant cab drivers that seem to drive a large part of the population in urban cities. The lure and appeal of the app- based economy drive the exodus of semi-skilled workers -from neighbouring towns and conventional jobs- leading to a new way of looking at the future of work in cities. The play takes a closer peek into the stories of three drivers namely Santosh Kumar, Umesha and Shankar Singh, who are encountering the app based economy at different stages of their lives and highlights their struggles, joy and desires in a technology-mediated world.
