Benchmark Sues To Have Uber Cofounder Removed From Board

Benchmark the venture capital firm and the early investor in Uber, is suing the former Uber CEO and Cofounder Travis Kalanick for fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty and breaches of contractual obligations. The complaint was filed on Thursday in the Delaware Chancery Court.

In the complaint, Benchmark alleges Kalanick’s overreaching objective was to pack Uber’s Board with loyal allies to help him insulate his prior conduct from any scrutiny. This would also clear the path for his eventual return as CEO, which Benchmark claims would be detrimental to Uber’s stockholders, employees, driver partners and customers.

The lawsuit seeks to force Kalanick off the board, nullify a June 2016 agreement that created three additional board seats and rescind his ability to fill those three seats. The lawsuit also aims to permanently remove Kalanick from Uber’s board and ban the cofounder from participating in Uber’s CEO replacement process.

The June 2016 agreement allowed Kalanick to expand the size of Uber’s board with three additional seats, giving him the sole right to designate those seats. According to the lawsuit, Kalanick held the power to name one of those three seats for himself after his resignation, while the other two seats could remain unfulfilled. Benchmark’s argument hangs on the statement that they would never have granted Kalanick those extra seats had they known about Kalanick’s “gross mismanagement and other misconduct at Uber.” Benchmark argues Kalanick’s misconduct invalidates the board’s vote to enlarge the board. This misconduct, according to the lawsuit, includes pervasive gender discrimination and sexual harassment, hiding the existence of confidential findings and nondisclosure of material information.

Currently, Uber Technologies Inc., is also fighting another lawsuit from Alphabet Inc., for allegedly stealing trade secrets. Alphabet Inc., is claiming their former employee Anthony Levandowski stole 14,000 files from Alphabet before starting his self driving startup Otto, which was later acquired by Uber. According to the new lawsuit by Benchmark, Kalanick did not disclose to the board what he knew about Alphabet’s allegations of trade secret misappropriation before Uber acquired Otto. The lawsuit also states another  lawsuit from Waymo, presents significant legal, financial and reputational risks to Uber. It claims these risks could have been reduced or avoided if Kalanick had disclosed crucial facts about his own apparent knowledge at the time of the Otto acquisition.

Travis Kalanick, who was allegedly trying to ‘Steve Jobs his way back’ into the company, was forced to resign after Benchmark partner Bill Gurley, led the effort to oust the CEO from the company. Uber has declined to comment on the issue.

IIT Hyderabad Unveils Palyanka, Heavy-Lift Drone for Air Ambulance Use

Published

on

Hyderabad - Drone

The Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation Foundation (TiHAN) at IIT Hyderabad has set a new standard in drone technology with the launch of Palyanka, a heavy payload drone designed as an autonomous air ambulance. Capable of carrying up to 200 kg, Palyanka is engineered to swiftly transport patients, medical equipment, or critical cargo across challenging terrains, bypassing traditional barriers like road congestion and remote inaccessibility. This advanced UAV operates autonomously, making it highly effective for rapid response in both urban and rural emergencies, and stands at the forefront of disaster relief operations in scenarios such as floods and fires.

Built for versatility, Palyanka doesn’t just function as an air ambulance. Its robust design enables use in rescue missions, cargo deliveries, and even as an air taxi for metropolitan connectivity. Inspired by the Sanskrit word for palanquin, the name “Palyanka” reflects the drone’s role as a safe and efficient carrier. All components, from conceptual design to IP, have been developed in-house at IIT Hyderabad, ensuring the drone meets stringent standards for durability and performance under extreme conditions.

With a development journey spanning over five years and led by Prof. P. Rajalakshmi, TiHAN’s team has transitioned from early drone prototypes to a full-scale, high-capacity solution like Palyanka. The team is now preparing pilot projects in hilly terrains and working on further enhancing the drone’s endurance with innovative heat-resistant materials. By pioneering such indigenous solutions, IIT Hyderabad’s TiHAN is transforming emergency medical services and logistics, marking a pivotal advancement in India’s urban mobility and public safety landscape.

X’s Major Price Cut in India: Premium Plans Now More Accessible Than Ever

Published

on

StartupStories

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has announced a major reduction in its subscription prices across India, slashing fees by up to 48%. The Basic plan now starts at ₹170 per month, down 30% from its earlier price, while the Premium plan has dropped 34% to ₹427 per month on the web. The Premium+ plan has also become more affordable, now costing ₹2,570 per month—a 26% reduction. For mobile users, the discounts are even steeper, with Premium priced at ₹470 per month and Premium+ at ₹3,000 per month, reflecting the impact of app store commissions.

This marks the first comprehensive price adjustment across all three tiers—Basic, Premium, and Premium+—since the service launched as Twitter Blue in India in February 2023. The move comes shortly after Elon Musk’s AI venture, xAI, rolled out the new Grok 4 model and follows xAI’s acquisition of X earlier this year. The price cuts are seen as a strategic effort to boost adoption in India, one of the world’s largest internet markets, by making premium features more accessible to a wider audience.

Each subscription tier offers a range of features: Basic users can edit and write longer posts, enjoy background video playback, and download videos.

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), announced her resignation on July 9, 2025, bringing her two-year leadership of Elon Musk’s social media platform to a close. Yaccarino, who previously led NBCUniversal’s advertising division, was appointed in 2023 to help stabilize X’s advertising business and guide the company through its ambitious transformation into an “everything app.” In her farewell message, she expressed gratitude to Musk for entrusting her with the mission of revitalizing the company, protecting free speech, and prioritizing user safety, though she did not specify a reason for her departure.

Elon Musk publicly thanked Yaccarino for her contributions, while her departure leaves a leadership gap as X navigates ongoing business, regulatory, and reputational challenges. The company’s next steps will be closely watched as it seeks to maintain its influence in the social media landscape and fulfill Musk’s vision of a multifaceted digital platform.
