Uber Auto in Delhi driving company’s growth: CEO

Las Vegas: Uber Auto, a three-wheeler service provided by the company, has become a major hit in India making it easier for travellers to hail a ride without having to haggle for prices.

Not only has it been a boon for Indians, looking for a cheaper option to the customary cabs, but the three-wheeler services in New Delhi also seem to be at the forefront of Uber’s future growth initiatives, company’s Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has said.

The 54-year-old Chief Executive made the remark on Tuesday during a keynote session with Safra Catz, the CEO of Oracle Corporation at the tech giant's ongoing flagship event 'Oracle CloudWorld' in Las Vegas.

When asked to describe the "Uber of today", Khosrowshahi said the company has "undergone incredible transformation" since he became CEO in 2010.

"2024 will be all about growth for us. We complete about 2 billion trips a quarter... so two billion rides, or delivery of food, grocery, etc. To keep growing at this rate, we will have to add billion and a half trips every single year that requires us to come up with innovative growth initiatives," he said.
