Uber to expand Hyderabad centre, plans corporate office in ‘Future City’

Hyderabad, May 13 (UNI) Global mobility major Uber is set to expand its Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Hyderabad and is exploring the establishment of a corporate office in the proposed ‘Bharat Future City’ near the city.
A delegation led by Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at his Jubilee Hills residence on Wednesday and discussed the company’s expansion plans in Telangana.
During the meeting, Khosrowshahi informed the Chief Minister that Uber’s Hyderabad Centre of Excellence — the company’s first such facility outside the United States — currently employs around 600 engineers and is being further expanded. He also conveyed the company’s interest in establishing an Uber corporate office in the upcoming Bharat Future City and sought the Telangana government’s support for future growth initiatives.
Revanth Reddy urged Uber to focus on addressing the growing parking challenges in major Indian cities and suggested that the company explore setting up multi-level parking facilities, particularly near Metro stations, where parking shortages have become a major concern.
The Chief Minister also proposed integrating parking infrastructure with EV charging centres to support sustainable urban mobility. Uber representatives assured him that the suggestions would be studied seriously.
Explaining the State government’s vision for Bharat Future City, Revanth Reddy said the project is being developed over 30,000 acres near Hyderabad and aims to attract 500 globally renowned companies. He noted that several firms had already shown interest in setting up operations there.
The Chief Minister added that the Future City is located about 25 kilometres from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, and that more than 100 companies participated in a global summit held at the project site last December, many of which expressed investment interest.
The meeting was also attended by Uber Chief Business Officer Madhu Kannan, Uber India and South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh, Chief Technology Officer Praveen Nippalli Naga, and Chief Minister’s Special Secretary Ajith Reddy, an official statement said.
