Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, on a two day visit to India, has said that they have tough competition in India and Ola is an excellent competitor.
However, he stressed that they are ahead of the Indian cab sharing service in the market though it is a constant battle.
He also added that while Ola is hyper-local and has that advantage, Uber has the support of global technology.
“We need to understand Indian consumer better if we want to be to the next level in the country,” he said at an event in New Delhi. He denied merger plans with Ola.
This is Khosrowshahi’s maiden visit to the country and he disclosed that Uber plans to “go all out” in the country and invest aggressively going ahead.
Uber CEO was speaking at an event in New Delhi organised to discuss the future of sustainable mobility and what it means for India and emerging markets with Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog.
