Times Internet, the digital arm of the Times of India Group and Uber have entered into a strategic partnership to support Uber's expansion in India, a statement issued by the former said here on Monday.
The deal is centred around a commercial marketing arrangement accompanied by a small investment, it stated.
"Times Global Partners is a platform we established to help the best companies in the world succeed in India, and we're confident that together, we can improve lives and create jobs for millions of Indians," Satyan Gajwani, chief executive officer (CEO) of Times Internet, said.
"India is one of our fastest growing markets in the history of Uber and one where we are investing heavily in continued growth," said Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber Technologies.
Uber, however, is struggling to resume its operations in the national capital where it was banned after one its drivers was accused of rape in December 2014.
It has resumed partial operations in the city after applying for a radio taxi licence in January. At present, it offers services in 11 Indian cities.
