Uber steps on the gas in effort to promote culture, gender diversity

From crowdsourcing its ‘culture norms’ to on-boarding more women and roping in gender-neutral driver-partners, Uber is pulling out all the stops to become more inclusive and diverse, besides making its rides safer.

“Globally, our gender representation has moved to 42.3 per cent and women representation at the senior level has gone up by 7 per cent,” Vishpala Reddy, Regional HR Director, APAC, Uber, told BusinessLine on the sidelines of the Nasscom HR Summit held here last week.

Quoting Uber’s global diversity report, Reddy said that women representation in the Asia-Pacific region and India closely mirrors the global trend.
