Travis Kalanick "I will apply for Indian citizenship today if it helps us in India"

Travis Kalanick, founder of Uber Cabs, is in India to talk about future of urban mobility.

After Travis talked about how they started Uber in the US with the sole thought of "pushing a button to get a cab", Travis went on talking about competition with Ola, automation and flying vehicles.

Here are a few highlights

He talked about how India is far at adopting new technology and while Uber has had their issues with regulation all over the world India is not a problem area on that. And he says Uber is fine too follow rules as long as it benefits the customers

Only two things can get him riled up if there are issues with low cost and flexible service

He says being local is our main motto in India, "Uber is driven by sons and daughters of India"

On its main competition in India market Ola, Travis agreed Ola is strong competition in India but he also believes competition is good for consumers

There is no plan to partner with Ola like how Uber has merged with other similar mobility service in China

For Uber there have been the most difficult markets to function in, Germany, Spain, Seoul, Tokyo.

India will be the last place to get automated cars given how badly Indians drive on roads

We are working on flying cars with a similar concept of drones
