> In cities like Delhi, good electricians, plumbers, welders can make $1k+ a month - most of it tax free since they usually work in cash.

Are you sure about that? That would work out to be nearly 10 LPA, which is a good 2-4 lakhs more than what a good electrician would earn in Mumbai, which is a city that is far more expensive to live in than Delhi




Yes, sure. My data comes from someone who led this division at Urban Company. The demand for good tradesmen is really high.

The plumber I use is so busy that I have to book him 2-3 days in advance - he’s working on projects all across the city.

There is also a construction boom happening in India right now which has increased demand even more
