Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi

- Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi dropped by the Acquired studio for an Eats delivery, so we broke out the cameras and asked him to hang out for a wide-ranging conversation. :) We talk about his 20 years working with Barry Diller, starting his career at Allen & Company, how the Uber CEO search process ACTUALLY went down… and oh yeah, the massive transformation that’s happened at Uber over the past few years. When Dara took over the company it was bleeding huge sums of cash, losing share to competitors and embroiled in one of the biggest corporate controversies in recent memory. Fast forward to today and it’s turned cashflow positive while also having tripled revenue to over $30B (on $120B in GMV) and solidified its rideshare dominance in the US. And in perhaps the biggest change, it’s done it all while staying out of the headlines. Tune in!

Terrible cold open I love it
What an intro.
The ad was so smooth that i acquired Uber Eats.
Softball questions. Interviewers should have talked to drivers before doing this interview.
This was such a great episode. Love the set up, love seeing you guys and love even more such a sensible and down to earth hard working professional that Dara is. Humble, sensible and intelligent, he seems to be a great leader and has proven it by doubling Uber market cap in the last 12 months or so. Keep the videos coming guys!
he is trash just like his company
This gets better and better. “The cost of labor goes up…” yet all us old time drivers (8+ years) are SCREAMING they - uber and lyft - are paying us less and less!!! And yet cost of running car and life is more and more. So where Dara is the difference going?!??? This is UNBELIEVABLE that he gets away with sayinf sh*t like this
Very true
What a great talk! Keep it up guys and thanks a lot for your content. This is gold.
As a shareholder, it is scary when he says Uber doesn't control the pricing. Instead all they do is aggregate the supply and demand sides. Does that mean during tougher economic times, when supply increases and prices go down, since they don't set the price, their revenue goes down on those transactions as opposed to the same transactions during better times ?
yea so people and the regulators have nothing to complain about than over supply by the regulators to stay out of the court system
I had a rider the other day who paid less than I received. This is pretty accurate info!
Opening is 💀🔥
great episode but wanted to ask why the video isn't up on spotify
Your podcast defines what "high quality" is. Keep up the great work. As a gamer from the 90s, I really enjoy your program covering SEGA and Nintendo. Btw, the intro music is AWSEOME.
Great interview, congratulations
Their Company model will not succeeded base on how they operate, being Care less For Customers after they make their Profits on Delivery drivers and drivers that are the main base of this business, its only going to continue Drawing, over the years they keep exploiting Customers with their high prices, lawsuits after lawsuits by Drivers, And not being able to operate in other countries and citys it tells you everything, there's no transparency on how they operate, its seems like its working but in Reality its not, time will tell...
What an amazing episode !
Yet another great podcast! Thank you for putting out such quality content through and through
Improving market pricing by 5% a year. This means people that the AI bought is seen how much you’re willing to pay for a ride, how little the driver is willing to take for a ride, and then then taking the huge difference and running with it again unbelievable that he’s talking about it from an angle like this, without even considering what it’s doing to the actual people who make him wealthy on the hour by hour minute by minute basis
Man, you learn so much from this guy
We have to do it in a more efficient way… However, that doesn’t include the fact that it’s becoming less and less efficient for the actual person driving the car and making the money. Gas prices are becoming an efficient the cost of maintaining our car is becoming in efficient… So they’re only thinking about their efficiency. But of course they are only thinking about their efficiency while they screw the driver and allow the market to set the base rate at 36.5 for a ride. Down at least two dollars and $.50 since I started driving pay years ago. That’s how they’re becoming more efficient by saving off money that goes to the people actually doing the work instead of theorizing about the work. Give me a break.
You guys are good interviewers
😂😂😂
Nice interview, DARA is OG
A humble CEO that doesn't get the credit he deserves. You can tell his strength is operations. So was the right guy to pull in at the time of crisis.
“We actually if you ask our top economist at Uber don’t control the price at all..”
I cannot stop hysterically laughing at this comment. How does he get away with this BS that is so blatantly a lie!?!?
It’s not a lie. That Surge on your map is representing an area where no drivers are. If the drivers talk and agree to go away from the area, only to come back after it surges, how is Uber controlling that?
@@idleoutcaster so then why when two drivers sit next to each other are their surge maps completely different? If it was demand driven, then they would be the same. Every time. Also turn your passenger app on and see if what you say is true. No other drivers in area…i guarantee its not that.
@@HolliCMcCormick1 Honestly, I’ll never understand the Uber Driver app 😅
shck ALMOST 90% SIMILAR HAD A REACTION TO THIS AND IM NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY AND I WON'T BE SPECIFIC FROM 15+ YEARS OF ITSD I THINK IF HE HAD SOME 'THING' HE WOULD BE LIFE IN -YOUKNOW-WHAT IM GETTING THAT FEELING AGAIN AND ITS GOOD HE'S INSIDE AND NOT OUTSIDE
Pay your driver's properly.
Are you kidding me? Uber is the worst when it comes to treating its drivers.
Uber dispatcher Fort Lauderdale Airport, Florida Night Shift Every Monday you work with me like this blocking my screen Uber App most of the time I don't make money like other drivers if you like and this thing makes you feel good if you want me to take a day off every Monday I will take if you like the important thing is to make you happy and comfortable
Im selling my Uber stock won’t deal with this criminal
This guy will drive uber to the ground.
Dara ❤
