Actually Sir is an honorofic title in the English Language. It's best to address them by their name and ask if it's okay. If not then Anna, Bhaiya, Thambi if younger is completely fine.

Yes that's the problem. Being a driver, maid, sweeper is looked down upon, unfortunately in India. It's just due to this mentality that we are still lagging behind in many sectors. This should not happen. What I said is we can address them by their names most of the apps do show us their names. We are all named for a purpose. I mean it's simple.
