Uber first ridesharing company to be present in all 7 Northeast sister states
Uber today announced the expansion of its footprint in the Northeast with
the launch of operations in Imphal and Itanagar with its popular Uber Moto. These launches complete
Uber’s presence across all the ‘seven sisters’, making Uber the only ridesharing company to be present
across the Northeast part of the country.
The leading ridesharing platform already has a strong presence in Aizawl and Shillong with Uber Moto, in
Guwahati with Uber Go and Uber Moto, and in Dimapur and Agartala with Uber Auto. With this
expansion, Uber remains committed to offering convenient, affordable, and safe mobility solutions to
more and more cities across the country by bringing the magic of push a button and get a ride through the
Uber App.
Uber’s expansion in the Northeastern states is in line with its growth plans in India, and with the
company’s ‘India to Bharat’ strategy to increase its footprint and product offerings to regional markets,
thereby realizing its vision of providing doorstep pickups, safe and contactless payments, all at affordable
prices.
As people have started moving again, Uber aims to offer convenient pick-ups, hassle-free rides, and
digital payment options with its various services at a touch of a button. Uber wants to empower riders with
shared mobility solutions to fit their unique needs in the new normal.
Commenting on the expansion, Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India and South Asia said “We are
immensely proud as Uber is now present across all the 7 sister states in North East India. Our ‘India to
Bharat’ strategy will help unlock growth opportunities in India’s tier 2 & 3 cities, and help us take our
mobility offerings to millions of new riders. We want to provide reliable and safe transportation through our
door-to-door service that has robust tech-led safety features and products at affordable prices. Uber will
also create meaningful earning opportunities for drivers on the platform besides providing new-age
mobility options for riders in the region.”
Over the past couple of years, Uber has implemented several innovative technology-driven solutions to
help riders and drivers feel safer while on a trip and continues to do so every day through a slew of
measures such as an in-app SOS feature, along with location sharing.
