    Article about companies like Pronto and Urban Company which offer helpers for ₹100 an hour (though on urban company it was like ₹400 an hour or so last I heard but idk)

    On the one hand these firms can provide a valuable source of economic stability for housekeepers who otherwise would have to find such jobs themselves which would be much more sporadic but on the other hand it does not address the physical security issues they face. Frankly an SOS button cannot help that much.
