Uber Eats to open in Jaipur, Kochi

In a bid to expand the reach of its food delivery app, Uber has planned to launch "Uber Eats" in Jaipur and Kochi later this month.

With these additions, the service will be available in 10 Indian cities and would launch with over 500 restaurants, the company said in a statement.

Bhavik Rathod, Head of Uber Eats India said, "We are all set to hit a milestone of 10 cities in 10 months. Jaipur and Kochi are known for their rich culinary delights and we are excited to make food ordering quick, easy and reliable here."

In India, Uber Eats was launched in India in May 2017 with Mumbai as the first city. Since then the company has opened its stores in Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune.

Uber Eats presently has a network of over 7,000 restaurants across all the cities.

Started in 2014 as a small delivery pilot in Los Angeles Uber Eats has also launched as a separate application in Toronto in December 2015. It is now available in over 30 countries and 200-plus cities.
