Uber India pays a special tribute to PV Sindhu's silver win at Rio Olympics 2016

Sometimes, they look like puppies, and at times they look like ice cream. We are talking about Uber’s car icons that most of time look a bit dull and boring on the maps page that most of us end up staring at when we are hunting for ride. Today, however, the company has given every customer in India a reason to smile, as the cab hailing service has switched its cars with shuttlecocks to celebrate PV Sindhu’s silver win at the Olympics! After breaking record books as India’s first ever badminton player to win a silver at the Olympics, PV Sidhu indeed has another reason to smile, because it’s shuttlecocks all over the famous cab hiring app, Uber. The cab hiring company decided to put things down in their own subtle way when the company switched from cars to shuttlecocks on its mobile apps today. https://twitter.com/Ranjan_Nayak/status/766856677849116672 Riders who will open the app today will see shuttlecocks floating about on the booking screen (which shows a map) instead of the usual cars. While many are able to see the shuttlecocks driving about on the map, our best guess is that the update is rolling out gradually, so it may not be visible to everyone instantly. The gesture from Uber would be one of the many reasons for her to smile as a big Rs 1 crore cash reward (Telangana government) and a BMW car will also be handed to her when she arrives back in India.
