Taxi-hailing app Uber announced a new start-up mentorship programme in the country in partnership with Invest India called ‘uberEXCHANGE’.
Key Features
Over the next years, Uber will host a series of six leadership talks by senior Uber executives, including from their headquarters in San Francisco.
The programme will address issues that entrepreneurs face, like fund-raising, product design, engineering and how to scale up a business.
At the end of the programme, the top 10 start-ups will travel to San Francisco, where they will be introduced to global investors, fellow entrepreneurs and the team at Uber.
This public-private initiative will enable students, entrepreneurs and industry leaders to learn from each other, helping to create a culture that celebrates risk-taking and views failure as an opportunity to learn.
It will also support Prime Minister’s vision to make India a global start-up hub.
