Uber, the global taxi aggregator, will be tying up with car manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra to launch electric cabs in Delhi and Hyderabad. The companies have entered a partnership to deploy 100 Electric Vehicles (EV) in the Uber fleet under its pilot project.

Mahindra’s e20 Plus hatchback and the eVerito sedan will be inducted into the Uber fleet and will hit the roads by February 2018. Speaking about the collaboration, Uber’s Chief Business Officer for India and Emerging Markets, Madhu Kannan said, “We see a key role for high efficiency vehicle technologies and therefore, believe that this collaboration with Mahindra, the pioneers in the electric vehicles space, will be truly beneficial not just for Uber, but for our driver partners, riders and the cities we operate in.”

However, both the companies have agreed the partnership is not exclusive as Mahindra has already tied up with Ola to introduce an EV fleet in Nagpur. Mahindra has been at the forefront of manufacturing electric vehicles in the country and launched their electric hatchback e2o in 2013. Speaking about the new partnership with Uber, Mahindra and Mahindra’s Managing Director Dr. Pawan Goenka said, “Our collaboration with Uber is an important step to help accelerate the large scale adoption of electric vehicles on shared mobility platforms and meet the nation’s vision for EVs.

The driver partners on Uber’s platform can avail a package which will include Mahindra electric vehicles at competitive prices, attractive financing and insurance premiums, under this partnership. Private players in the process of setting up a common use charging ecosystem across multiple locations in the cities will also be contacted by the companies. Mahindra is also planning to ramp up the production capacity to 5000 units a month from the current capacity of 500 units. Furthermore, Mahindra and Mahindra will also support driver education and training related to various aspects of electric vehicles including maintenance.

New Instagram Features Let Users Customize Profiles and Share Quietly

Instagram Grid

Instagram is rolling out two major features in June 2025 that promise to give users unprecedented creative control and privacy: grid rearranging and silent posting. The long-awaited grid rearranging tool allows users to freely drag and drop posts anywhere on their profile grid, breaking away from the traditional chronological order. This means users can now curate their profiles for a more visually appealing or thematic presentation, without the hassle of deleting and reposting content—an update especially welcomed by brands, creators, and anyone meticulous about their digital aesthetic.


In tandem, Instagram is introducing the “Post quietly to profile” feature, which lets users add photos and videos to their grid without notifying followers or pushing the content to their feeds. This silent posting option is ideal for those who want to document moments privately, experiment with new content, or maintain a cohesive grid without spamming their audience. It’s designed to reduce the pressure of public sharing, making Instagram a more comfortable space for personal expression and experimentation.

 

These updates reflect Instagram’s commitment to user empowerment and flexibility, responding directly to years of feedback. As Instagram head Adam Mosseri stated, the goal is to help users “create and share without added pressure,” giving them more freedom over how their content appears and how they engage with their audience.
