Uber’s ties with the Times Group are raising eyebrows. On July 12, the Indian Express shed light on the media group’s “strategic partnership” with the cab firm.
Express reported that in 2015, Uber co-founder and then CEO Travis Kalanick told his associates that the company should have a “strong relationship” with the media group after he was invited to the Economic Times Global Business Summit. “If there is something we can do for them that makes sense, we should do it,” he advised them over email.
