MUMBAI: Ridesharing platform Uber recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) to explore its integration with the range of mobility offerings on the Uber app.
Uber’s global CEO Dara Khosrowshahi who met Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani in Bengaluru to discuss “building population scale technology”, said companies and governments around the world could learn from the scale and ambition of India’s digital public infrastructure.
He said as a technology company, Uber views open source tech stacks with a lot of interest and recognises the opportunities they bring for everyone.
Speaking on the MOU, Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India and South Asia, said, “Our vision for Uber in India is to serve the mobility needs of all Indians. This is in line with ONDC’s objective of democratising digital commerce. We are excited to take our first step through this MOU with ONDC to explore how we can accelerate our ambition to make Uber a platform for every Indian’s daily mobility needs.”
T Koshy, MD & CEO of ONDC, said, “As the open network is continuously evolving, MTT (mobility, transport and travel) is a critical sector for us. Different players together on the network foster innovation and newer business models. This MOU is a major step forward, and one we hope will enable a diverse range of mobility solutions to benefit every Indian.”
