Uber India President Prabhjeet Singh Steps Down

Singh's departure highlights a leadership change as Uber pushes local investment to steady growth while the unit stays unprofitable.

Overview

  • Prabhjeet Singh resigned as president of Uber India and South Asia, a move the company confirmed on Friday and said was to pursue another leadership opportunity.
  • Media reports say Singh is expected to join a 'frontier tech' company, though Uber has not disclosed his next employer.
  • Earlier this year Uber's global parent injected nearly ₹3,000 crore into its Indian arm and the company has announced a plan to open its first India data centre with the Adani Group later this year.
  • Uber India has not turned a profit: in fiscal 2025 the unit reported a net loss of ₹1,511 crore with flat gross revenue and it has not yet filed FY26 results; the business has shifted toward subscription pricing for drivers after competitors gained market share.
  • The company has not named a successor, and the change will test Uber's plan to stabilise growth through local investment, operational changes and the new data‑centre strategy.
