Uber is betting big on the Indian ride-sharing market, really big

India is a nation with nearly 1.3 billion people, dozens of massive and densely populated cities, and notoriously crowded and underdeveloped public transit, which means it’s a perfect market for ride-sharing services like Uber. Considering how much growth the company has had in India, Uber couldn’t agree more and has stated that the country is one of its top priorities. To prove this, Uber will be investing around $1 billion in India over the next nine months.
