Uber CEO Travis Kalanick met the baby who was born in an Uber last December in Delhi, just over a week since his first birthday. He met with the family of the baby and hosted a private birthday celebration for him along with Uber India President Amit Jain. The baby was accompanied by his mother, father, grandparents and cousins for an intimate celebration where Travis announced a scholarship fund of USD 12,000 for baby’s education. This money is meant for his higher education when he turns 18 years of age. Travis also gifted the baby a bunny stuff toy, very similar to what he had as a child.
