About the Company
The idea for Uber was born on a snowy winter night in Paris when the founder could not get a cab. Now a household name, initially Uber was a simple answer to “what if you could request a ride from your phone?” Since its inception, it has evolved to deliver the best commute experience for its customers. From pre-booking, affordable prices, food delivery to ride-sharing, Uber has it all! Uber claims that movement is its power, and it has undoubtedly proven so.

Bridging the gap
Ride-sharing comes with many advantages. It is easy on the environment, gives more earnings to the driver for the same distance and is inexpensive for the rider. However, it is not easy to design a ride-sharing application. An intelligent algorithm that chooses the optimum order of pickups and drop-offs such that the wait time and travel are minimal is incredibly hard to design. Data scientists of the top ride-sharing companies are constantly improving their algorithms to reduce travel time and deliver a better customer experience

Meet Our Certified Menterns
It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.
There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies. 
My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.
My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
