Uber Buys Delivery Hero for $15 Billion to Build a Global Food Delivery Empire

Uber has struck a $15 billion deal to acquire Delivery Hero, a move designed to build a global food-delivery business. The acquisition is aimed at helping Uber compete more aggressively with Just Eat — owned by Dutch group Prosus — and US rival DoorDash. The deal marks one of the biggest moves yet in the consolidating global food delivery market.

Why It Matters

Uber Eats operates in India, and a stronger, better-funded global Uber food delivery business could mean changes to how the service competes with Swiggy and Zomato here.
