Book Uber & do multiple other stuffs on Snapdeal app now

Snapdeal will not let you leave its app, while you are shopping. For example, if you want to pay your bills, book flight tickets, order some food- you can do them directly from the Snapdeal app.

Snapdeal has partnered Cleartrip, redBus, UrbanClap, BookMyShow and Zomato to add a bunch of services such as ticket booking, bill-paying and food ordering, etc on its platform of late, and now it will allow you to book an Uber cab also directly from its app.

Tony Navin, Senior Vice President, Partnerships and Strategic Initiatives, Snapdeal said, “We are committed to building the country’s most reliable and frictionless digital ecosystem, that caters to the entire range of India’s consumption needs.”

Uber is the latest addition in Snapdeal's existing bouquet of services which are available through its app, through in-app integrations. The partnership is interesting for Uber also. Uber opened API to developers globally in August 2014, to make it easier for people to move around in cities.

Mahesh Bhalla, Head of Business, Uber India, said “This partnership with Snapdeal is the first completely native Uber API integration in India and we are excited about this, as we share the same sentiment of building an ecosystem where we work together with other technology companies in order to give customers a hassle-free, end-to-end experience.”

Uber booking service is currently available on Android version 4.0 (and higher), and Snapdeal will roll out the service for other platforms also soon.
