Akshay Panda introduces himself and his topic on innovation and technology in advertising through Uber, the taxi service application. Uber was started in 2009 and has grown popular in recent years by allowing users to book taxis through their mobile application. Uber sets dynamic pricing for fares and does not involve direct partnerships with taxi companies. The presentation discusses Uber's economic performance, objectives, SWOT analysis, advertising strategies, and future goals of becoming a fully electric, zero emission platform and the world's largest mobility provider.
