I've never been derogatory towards taxi drivers.

There's been so much corruption and so much cronyism in the taxi industry and so much regulatory capture, that if you ask for permission upfront for something that's already legal, you'll never get it.

We have to bring out the truth about how dark and dangerous and evil the taxi side is.

Many auto drivers and taxi drivers spit. However, I have yet to come across a passenger who will spit when he is refused a journey to his destination by an auto or a taxi driver.

I think Uber is just very different; there's no model to copy. It may be the reason why we've been a lightning rod in so many ways, because we don't do anything conventional... And then I think also, as an entrepreneur, I'm a bit of a lone wolf.

I prefer building rather than fundraising.
