The rickshaw drivers are free to go anywhere in the state
Shyam Telecom, which operates in the state of Rajasthan, has opted to take its phones to the people rather than wait for them to come to it.
The company has equipped a fleet of rickshaws with a mobile phone. Drivers pedal these mobile payphones throughout the state capital, Jaipur, and the surrounding countryside.
The rickshaw drivers, numbering around 200, are largely drawn from those at the margins of society - the disabled and women
