Uber India & South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh has stepped down after spending over a decade with the ride-hailing company.
Singh is set to join OpenAI as Managing Director for India, as the artificial intelligence firm strengthens its leadership in a key growth market. He will assume the new role in September and report to Kiran Mani, Managing Director for Asia Pacific, the company said on June 26.
He will be OpenAI’s most senior leader in India and will be responsible for its performance across consumer growth, enterprise adoption, partnerships, regulatory engagement and operations, per media reports.
Singh joined Uber in 2015 as General Manager and Head of Strategy and rose through the ranks to become President of its India and South Asia operations in 2020. Prior to Uber, he worked with McKinsey & Company and Lehman Brothers.
“India is one of Uber’s most important markets globally, an important driver of innovation and long-term growth. The strength of our business today reflects the incredible team and foundation built over the years. We thank Prabhjeet for his leadership and lasting contributions in his decade-long journey with Uber – we remain deeply committed to our next phase of growth in India,” said a spokesperson of Uber.
