Sonu Sood pays tribute to Uber's trusted journeys

Watch the film conceptualised by Dentsu Creative here

Uber has rolled out the second leg of its 10th anniversary campaign featuring actor Sonu Sood to pay homage to the company.
 
Conceptualised by Dentsu Creative, the film portrays Sood expressing gratitude to both drivers and riders for their long-standing trust in the brand. It also highlights how Uber has played a transformative role in shaping mobility in India.
 
Ameya Velankar, head of marketing, Uber India, South Asia, said, “Over the last ten years, Uber has changed how people move everyday in India and has been a force of positive impact for its mobility ecosystem. This would not have been possible without the efforts of the millions of driver partners, the trust shown by our riders and the relentless work by all employees, past and present. We want to celebrate the completion of Uber's ten years in India and thank them personally by leveraging Gen-AI. This is the least we could do as we work hard to make the platform better for everyone and commit to take India forward through what is poised to be India's century.”
 
Shray Chawla, group creative director and Akshit Salian, senior creative director, Dentsu Creative, said, “We need to look back, to look ahead. And that’s exactly what we did. We took a ride through the last ten years of India, to figure out where it will take us in the next ten years. That’s when we realised it’s the stories of India that made us #IndiaKiRide. That thought became the genesis of our idea of showcasing real stories portrayed by real people. And who better to narrate this beautiful journey than Sonu Sood, whose deeds are just as inspiring as the man himself!”
