brands have seen their profits diminishing fast. In
some of the markets including US and the two large
Asian markets, India and China, Uber’s business has
been flourishing.
The brand has reached a financially strong position
and has brought several new kinds of rides for the
convenience of the diverse groups of customers. It

mainly the prices and quality of service that have
made Uber the millenial’s favorite.
