"This partnership will help Uber unlock growth across the huge user base of Micromax in India and also help our consumers get the best in class experience from the leaders in ride sharing. Our focus, going forward, will be on building native experiences that will bring alive a connected ecosystem," Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Micromax Informatics said.

This move will propel both the companies to create a feature-driven experience for smartphone users and as a part of this partnership, the Uber app will come in-built in close to 100 million Micromax smartphones, the statement said.
