Uber Eats eyes small town India to boost food orders
Live MintNew Delhi: As the online food delivery market in India goes hyper-competitive, Uber Eats, which is yet to create a significant mark on the Indian palette, is now eyeing young professionals in metros and joint families in smaller towns to increase its footprint. Amid reports that Swiggy is buying its India business and then stalled talks, Uber Eats that came to India in May 2017 is finally witnessing fast adoption of its services among millennials and joint families. Launched much later than its competitors like Swiggy, Zomato and Foodpanda, Uber Eats is facing some problems in properly establishing itself as a food delivery platform among foodies in the country. According to Uber Eats' Senior Director and Product Manager Stephan Chau, the company is using advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to safeguard its customers' data.
