  • Uber’s new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has written a letter to staff in which he expresses “disappointment” over Travis Kalanick’s appointment of two board members behind his back. His predecessor appointed former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain as directors to the Uber board without discussing it with Khosrowshahi or the board.
  • Khosrowshahi says in his letter: “Team – I wanted to update you on some disappointing news from today. Travis appointed two new members to Uber’s Board without discussing it with me or the Board of Directors more broadly. Anyone would tell you that this is highly unusual.”
  • Uber’s press statement reads: “The appointments of Ms. Burns and Mr. Thain to Uber’s Board of Directors came as a complete surprise to Uber and its Board. That is precisely why we are working to put in place world-class governance.”

Meni ovaj uber kao neka neozbiljna kompanija, drama drama i drama

Uber arrives in Phnom Penh. The US company launched its ride-hailing service in the Cambodian capital, just as regional rival Grab indicated its own availability in the city. Uber also launched UberDeliver, its on-demand courier service, in the Indonesian city of Surabaya on the same day. (Tech in Asia)

 

Lepo, sada ima da procveta ekonomija.

The news (extracted from Bloomberg):

  • India’s ride-hailing company Ola has raised US$2 billion in fresh funding from SoftBank, Tencent, UC-RNT Fund, a venture capital fund jointly run by Indian biz tycoon Ratan Tata and the University of California’s investment arm, and some institutional investors from the US, according to Bloomberg sources.
  • The funding round wasn’t yet complete and Ola’s current valuation wasn’t available. In its previous funding round, Ola was valued at US$3.5 billion, 30 percent lower than its peak value of US$5 billion in November 2016 when it raised US$330 million from SoftBank, UC-RNT, and Falcon Edge Capital.
  • The latest investment round in Ola would be the second largest for an Indian startup. Flipkart scored a total funding of around US$4 billion from SoftBank Vision Fund, Tencent, and others this year.

Why it matters:

  • The fresh funding comes at a time when Ola’s chief rival Uber is distracted by multiple lawsuits, including charges of sexual misconduct and trade secret theft, as well as a boardroom tussle.
  • While Uber has been growing aggressively in India, going neck-to-neck with Ola, fighting multiple battles seems to be taking a toll elsewhere. According to data from app measurement company App Annie, Grab takes the lead in most parts of Southeast Asia, except in Indonesia. Uber doesn’t win any country by its MAU count, it said. Uber has also been exiting some of its markets like Russia and Taiwan.
  • Recently, Ola joined hands with a bunch of Indian startups like Flipkart, MakeMyTrip, Quikr, and Hike Messenger to launch Indiatech.org, an industry body to lobby for the interests of homegrown companies over global rivals.

Uber is officially a transport company and not a digital service, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled.

The ride-hailing firm argued it was an information society service - helping people to make contact with each other electronically - and not a cab firm.

The case arose after Uber was told to obey local taxi rules in Barcelona.
