Uber, the company that runs the ride-sharing and delivery app, is planning to hire a lot more tech workers in India.
They want to double their current team of 2,200 people in the next 3 to 5 years.
This is because India has a lot of talented engineers.

They are also thinking about using their own AI to improve things like pricing and matching riders with drivers, but they're being careful about protecting people's privacy.
