As an organisation, Uber has always upheld the values of diversity and inclusivity. The company celebrates people irrespective of their colour, background, gender or sexuality, and this reflects in their non-discriminatory hiring policies.

This International Transgender Day of Visibility, let’s tell you the inspiring stories of two transgender persons working at Uber - Rani and Arav.

Breaking Barriers

Rani is India’s first transgender to drive for Uber Bhubaneswar. Getting here wasn’t easy, but she was determined to break societal barriers and march ahead on the path of sustainable employment.

Being a transgender, Rani’s life is synonymous with struggle. She shares a small space with 30 other members from her community and is a mother figure to them. As they have been rejected by their families, it is Rani who supports and guides them.
