In today’s day and age, there are a ton of success stories about entrepreneurs making it big, turning their dreams into reality. While there are several foundational elements that are required to build a startup right off the ground, most entrepreneurs swear by the importance mentors have had in their entrepreneurial journey.  

While building a successful startup is no easy feat, we’re continuing to show our commitment to this ecosystem through various initiatives. From teaming up with the much-talked-about Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2017 to mentoring starups through UberEXCHANGE, we’re working towards strengthening the culture of mentor-led knowledge-sharing that help entrepreneurs realise their potential.

Back in 2016, UberEXCHANGE was launched in India as a part of Uber’s mission to create a startup ecosystem in partnership with Invest India. Since then, over 150 startups have been mentored by Uber’s senior leadership team. At the end of this program, 10 finalists have been chosen through a rigorous selection process anchored by T-Hub, Telangana’s flagship startup incubator and accelerator.

Announcing the winners at GES 2017, Amit Jain, President, Uber India & SA said, “We launched this program in partnership with T-Hub last year to support the Prime Minister’s Startup India vision. Since then, we have had the opportunity to mentor over 150 starups and be a part of their entrepreneurial journey. We thank the Government of Telangana and T-hub for their continued support in helping us bring this initiative to life”

Gayam Raja, Founder of Gayam Motor Works said, “We signed up UberEATS as our first customer for limitless e-bike in Singapore, Hongkong and San Francisco through UberEXCHANGE. Thanks to UberEXCHANGE and T-Hub for the kickstart.”
