Uber is a premium taxi service provided to travellers. The Uber app helps to connect the commuter with a cab driver in minutes. As soon as a person books a taxi from Uber, one will have to pay online after booking it. Uber in India has expanded its reach in the Indian market with the immediate launch in seven new cities. The cities include Bhubaneswar, Coimbatore, Indore, Mysore, Nagpur, Surat and Visakhapatnam.

The rapid 40% MoM growth we continue to see in India is unprecedented and it is not surprising that some of the fastest growing cities in the world are also here. Our data already shows that residents and visitors in each of these new cities have been eagerly waiting for Uber for some time now and we expect to see a similar response here.
