Uber signs MoU with the Government Of Tamil Nadu

Earlier today, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tamil Nadu to create tens of thousands of work and entrepreneurship opportunities, foster technical innovation and support development in the state.

Twenty months ago our technology transformed urban mobility for millions, when it launched in Chennai, by introducing a safe, reliable and efficient way to move around the city. And after the phenomenal response in Chennai, just weeks ago we launched in Coimbatore – our second city in the state of Tamil Nadu.

“Uber is pleased to announce our landmark partnership agreement with the Government of Tamil Nadu to drive innovation, create tens of thousands of entrepreneurship opportunities, and provide safe, reliable transport options for people of this state. We are deeply committed to the local communities in which we operate, and look forward to leveraging our global expertise to deliver new solutions to make Chennai a city of the future.  The State of Tamil Nadu is leading the way in demonstrating how businesses can work side-by-side with governments to promote economic development and tech-based modernization across cities. India is top priority for Uber and we are thrilled about the potential of this collaboration in our quest toward transforming urban mobility for hundreds of millions of commuters in India.” said Amit Jain, President of Uber India.

The foundation stone has been laid. Miles of relentless execution lie ahead. We’re just getting started!
