Ten start-ups, five of them based in Hyderabad, have won an-all-expense-paid trip to San Francisco under the UberExchange programme.
The taxi hailing app firm Uber, which had partnered T-Hub incubator for the selection process of the start-ups, on Wednesday announced the finalists of the UberExchange at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES 2017) here.
In San Francisco, the finalists would visit Uber’s headquarters and meet the company’s executive leadership team besides being introduced to potential investors.
Anytimeloan, Docturnal, Imaginate, Ekincare and Carengrow are the five start-ups in Hyderabad that figure in the list. Other finalists are Preva Systems, AlgoSurg, JioVio HealthCare, Gayam Motor Works and Gray Routes Technology.
Mentoring startups
Complimenting the finalists, IT Minister K.T.Rama Rao said T-Hub will continue to guide the start-ups, while describing “Uber as an exceptional partner who can really take them places.”
President of Uber India and South Asia Amit Jain said since the launch of the programme last year, in partnership with Invest India to create a start-up ecosystem, over 150 start-ups have been mentored.
