Open to talks but will not get into a minority deal Uber on M&A in India
India is losing over $22 billion (about Rs 1.4 lakh crore) a year during peak traffic hours compared to travel time during non-peak hours, an Uber-commissioned BCG report revealed.
Hardford said the recent deal with Grab in South East Asia has "freed up resources" that are now being invested across geographies, including India in areas like "people, products and partnerships".Last month, Uber announced a deal to sell its Southeast Asian operations to rival Grab for a 27.5 per cent stake in the combined entity.
"India was a core market for the company, and we are doubling our investments in this country like never before", said Harford. "Uber's success is hard-coded to India's success", Uber's chief operating officer Barney Harford said in a conference in the national capital.
Harford did not say how much Uber is likely to invest in India but said it would "considerably expand" its technology resources to develop products for India and the world.
"We have no interest in doing minority deals going forward in India". In 2015, Uber announced an investment of Dollars 1 billion in the country to expand its services.

Uber India president Amit Jain said the firm has no major plans to expand to more cities in India.
He also released a report commissioned by Uber through Boston Consulting Group.
According to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey, up to 89 per cent of people plan to buy a new auto in the next five years. This means that, on average, commuters take 1.5 times longer to travel a given distance. Without taking names, Harford said: "We are always open to having conversations with potential partners but our commitment to the India market is very deep and as I said we see a very long and positive future in the India market". "On-demand ride sharing is a practical way to reduce no of private vehicles on the road and reduce congestion", Subudhi said. However, over 79 per cent said they would refrain from buying a auto if ridesharing matches vehicle ownership for affordability and convenience. We need to creatively think about increasing public transport usage and network while managing private transport growth.
"In the coming months, we will introduce several India-first innovations that will help bring the benefits of ride-sharing to many more Indians and enable us to work with the government towards a common goal - reduce private auto ownership and expand access to public transit systems", Jain said.
