Career Journey of Prabhjeet Singh at Uber

Singh joined Uber in August 2015 following a successful tenure at McKinsey & Company, where he served as an Associate Partner. Over the years, he held various leadership roles, culminating in his appointment as President of India and South Asia in July 2020. In his capacity as President, Singh managed Uber’s mobility operations across India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

Innovations Under Singh’s Leadership

During his leadership, Singh expanded Uber’s services beyond traditional four-wheeler ride-hailing, introducing options such as Auto, Moto, and Shuttle. Furthermore, he enhanced collaboration with public transport authorities and initiatives focusing on digital public infrastructure.

Recent Developments at Uber India

Singh’s departure aligns with recent activities at Uber, including a visit by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi to India. During this visit, the announcement of the company’s inaugural data centre in collaboration with Adani Group was made, signalling a significant investment in its technological and infrastructural presence in the country. Additionally, in February, Uber invested nearly Rs 3,000 crore (approximately $330 million) into its Indian subsidiary, Uber India Systems Pvt Ltd, in response to growing competition from rivals such as Rapido.
