Currently, the company has a 1,000-member technical team at its centers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The company says that the recruitment plan is “a testament to its commitment to India and recognition of engineering talent in the country.” Last year in 2021, Uber added 250 new engineers to teams in India.

According to Reuters, Khosrowshahi said Uber’s change in strategy was a necessary response to a “seismic shift” in investor sentiment.
