Our visit to the Uber India Office, Hyderabad, provided valuable exposure to Uber’s operational and technology-driven approach to building and scaling global platforms. The PayMedia and DirectPay teams gained practical insights through detailed discussions and real-world use cases shared during the session.

The discussions covered key areas including business scaling strategies, Uber’s GenAI initiatives, product development processes, talent management and recruitment practices, and an overview of the Uber technology stack, demonstrated through real-world examples.

Special thanks to the Uber team for hosting us and for sharing their expertise, including Gokul Kumar Gopal (Engineering Leader), Siddharth Jain (Engineering Manager), Divya Anand (Group Product Manager), Sameera Poduri (Director of Engineering, AI), Hari Srinivasan (Director of Engineering), Aravind Bhashyam (Engineering Manager II), and Megha Yethadka (Global Head, Uber AI Solutions). Their insights and experiences added significant value to the session.

This experience contributed meaningful learnings that will support ongoing product and organizational growth at PayMedia and DirectPay.
