In India itself Uber is facing a serious competition from Ola. The Bengaluru-based firm is offering its services in over 100 cities around the country. And Uber has only around 40 cities in its’ platform.

A bad first day on the IPO

Meanwhile, the San Francisco firm had just go public today (May, 11). Yet the road is still bumpy for Uber. On its’ first day at the IPO, it faced a 7,6% drop on stock. It seems like it’s going to be a long ride before it’s able to achieve its initial goal to value up to $90 B through the IPO.

This is a dangerous state for Uber. Along with the continuing strike from its drivers around the world, it admitted a possibility of never gaining profit. After its founding in 2009, the company has lost about $9 B.

The competitions are just too tight in the ride hailing section. There are too many ride hailing startups with just a slight better service. Therefore Uber is focusing more on automatic car development and food delivery services.
