Uber has elevated Pradeep Parameswaran to Global Head of Uber for Business, Business Development, and Fleets.
Parameswaran joined the company in January 2017 and has worked in a variety of roles since then, including Head of Central Operations, India; President, Uber India and South Asia; and Regional General Manager, Asia Pacific.
Prior to joining Uber in 2017, he was associated with DEN Networks as their CEO from January 2015 to January 2017.
Before that, he was a Partner at McKinsey & Company, India, for six years, from 2008 to 2014.
In the past, he has also worked with various other companies, including McKinsey & Company, US as Partner, A.T. Kearney Dallas as Summer Associate, and Hindustan Unilever as Manager.
Commenting on his new role, Parameswaran mentioned, “While Fleets and BD are long-standing passions of mine within Uber, especially in the APAC region, I’m excited to take the Uber for Business reins from Susan Anderson, another APAC Uber alum, who is moving to another exciting new role within Uber, leading our growth thrust in Grocery.”
He added, “Uber for Business has launched strong solutions to help businesses and their employees go anywhere and get anything. In just the last year or so, the team has built products to elevate the business travel experience and invested in supporting our client’s sustainability goals. We’ve forged deals with auto dealerships, logistics companies, airlines, healthcare organizations, and more. Today, Uber for Business works with 200,000 customers globally, including over 60% of the Fortune 500.”
Furthermore, he said, “I am equally excited to build Uber’s capabilities to be the best platform for Fleets on Delivery and Mobility, including Autonomous Vehicles. We are the largest demand platform globally for Rides and Eats. We are keen to leverage this platform to also make Uber a strong partner for small and large fleets who can scale fast, streamline operations and be profitable with Uber’s support.”
