Uber has launched a tender process for the Indian market to improve its mapping with the aim of enhancing the experience for its customers and drivers.

Important companies such as Cognizant, Accenture and Wipro have entered the bidding with the aim of winning the outsourcing contract.

The request for proposal for the Uber Map Improvement Group has been made in the hope of improving Uber’s mapping assets – ensuring faster pick-up times is one of the many requirements.

The contract is expected to be worth around $50 million (RS 350 crore).

Uber aims to launch the map improvement at scale by the beginning of March and is looking to onboard 500 to 1000 operators by the end of 2016 or early 2017.
