Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani on Saturday met Uber Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dara Khosrowshahi and hinted at the possibility of future cooperation between his group and the app. At the X, the two business leaders appreciated their interaction for the development of India and the subcontinent.

Adani tweeted, "Had a captivating conversation with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. His vision for Uber's expansion in India, especially his commitment to uplift Indian drivers and their dignity is truly inspiring. Dara and I look forward to our future collaboration with their team at Uber India!”

Uber CEO said after the meeting that he met the head of the group doing business from ports to the energy sector for breakfast. During this, there was an "absolutely fantastic conversation". He also spoke about the company's commitment to accelerate the adoption of EV vehicles in India.
