What happened

Prabhjeet Singh has resigned as President of Uber India and South Asia after 11 years; APAC leadership will support local team during transition. Exit follows

Key facts

  • 11 years tenure
  • 11.6 billion km in 2025
  • 26.5% YoY surge
  • 3.2 million trips
  • 8,840 daily journeys
  • fleet to double by year-end

Why this matters

Senior Uber India talent is likely in motion now — open a window to recruit displaced lieutenants or revisit partnership talks while the org chart is unsettled.

What to watch

  • Announcement of permanent India President and their background (ops vs growth vs policy)
  • Q4 India GB or trip-volume disclosure in Uber's next earnings call
  • Driver-partner protests or union activity post-exit
  • Ola/Rapido counter-moves on fleet, pricing or driver incentives
  • Any walk-back of the fleet-doubling timeline in subsequent comms
  • Senior India team departures within 60 days of Singh's exit
  • Name interim India President from APAC bench within 2-4 weeks
  • Reaffirm fleet-doubling and driver incentive commitments publicly
  • Accelerate auto/moto and tier-2 city rollout to show momentum
  • Engage MoRTH and state regulators on aggregator rules to de-risk transition
  • Lock in EV fleet partnerships (Tata, BluSmart-adjacent OEMs) as proof points
