UBER Technologies Inc. is an American multinational online transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It develops markets and operates the UBER mobile "app", which allows consumers with smart phones to submit a trip request, which the software program then automatically sends to the UBER driver nearest to the consumer, alerting the driver to the location of the customer.

Mr. Lester Noronha, Operations Manager & Mr. Vijith Kumar, Associate Manager addressed the MBAs on the History and Growth Story of UBER, Roadblocks they faced, Initiatives undertaken by them and also the job opportunities for the MBAs in their organization. Students were stimulated to think beyond when their business does not show returns as expected. UBER faced lot of challenges to survive in the competitive business world as they only accepted Credit Card payments initially; however they brought about PAYTM and Cash payments which shoot up their business. Several initiatives of UBER like UBER POOL, UBER Puppies Day, UBER Ice-cream Day and the support they provided during Flood in Chennai won great admiration for the organization. The organization looks for candidates with a special skill called HUSTLE, if possessed can be a part of UBER with rewarding compensation and benefits.
