From relying on a meagre pension of seven thousand a month he now makes that kind of money in a few days. He says the sense of security that Uber has offered him and his family, he shall forever be grateful.

Karthikeyan Ganesh | Former Indian Army |
Coimbatore Uber Partner
“Representing the Uber brand through my service is a responsibility I take seriously. If we give the customers a good service, they will love the Uber experience”
Karthikeyan, our partner in Uber Coimbatore served the Indian Army in the harsh region of Kupwara, J & K. Despite several trials over many years after his return, he just wasn’t able to strike the right chord and settle into a satisfactory routine with less financial anxiety. He heard about Uber long before we launched in Coimbatore and joined us without a second thought. Today, Karthikeyan is independent and more importantly has complete control over his own life. He can focus on his work and spend quality time with his family without stressing over what the future holds.

Starting with a small car, today, Arun drives his own Innova with Uber and has been able to give quality education to his children. One of his sons is a BMS doctor, other a CA final student and his daughter, an Assistant Engineer with the electricity board.
Here’s wishing them and all of you a very Happy Independence Day. Jai Hind!
