Uber has launched UberEATS, an on-demand food delivery app, in Delhi-NCR today. The services will start in Gurugram first. Mumbai was the first city to go live with it.
UberEATS was started in 2014 as a delivery pilot in Los Angeles and launched as a separate application in Toronto in December 2015. It is now a stand-alone app available in 26 countries and in 78 cities around the globe, including India.
