In the last six months, as Dhaka is warming up to the multinational taxi service Uber; the company launched a promotional video attempting to be a ’friend‘ in need to the Dhakaities. The beautifully made video tries to portray the four-hundred year old city from an optimistic angle. The half-yearly report card of Uber might not be very impressive considering some hiccups they have faced in the beginning, but this video will surely do wonders for their brand image. Read on to know about the protagonists of the video- the everyday people we come across in this busy city of 1.7 crore population.

The one who loves taking selfies

The smile on his face could mean two things; either he has read a funny article or received a sweet message from someone dear-a moment you will often come across if you are a frequent traveller by bus.

Hundreds of young and middle aged men are earning a good salary and dreaming of a better tomorrow. Thanks to Uber and a few other taxi services, this sector is witnessing a rise in the numbers of professionals who understand the importance of maintaining traffic rules and road safety.

The late-at-work lady
Yes, girls do play instrumental roles at workplaces and gone are the days when only men used to come home late. This tech savvy lady using the Uber app to go back home shows that the country is on the right track to become digitally progressive.
