BookMyShow Partners with Uber to Enhance Movie-going Experience for Users

MUMBAI, India, March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --



BookMyShow, India's largest online entertainment ticketing brand, has partnered with
Uber, the smartphone app that has transformed the way people commute in cities, to offer
movie enthusiasts a superior movie-going experience. This exclusive partnership will
enable BookMyShow users to book an Uber when they buy their movie tickets on the
BookMyShow mobile app. Depending upon the time to their movie show, the users will either
get an option to 'Ride Now' or to set a reminder to book an Uber for later.  Once the user
has made their selection to ride in an Uber, they will be directed to the Uber app on the
device.



Marzdi Kalianiwala, VP- Business Intelligence & Marketing, BookMyShow said, "Customers
are the reason we exist and we're constantly enhancing our offerings to ensure they are
delighted every time they book through BookMyShow. With an intent to make the overall
experience for our users frictionless, while providing continuous value addition, we are
delighted today to partner with Uber to offer an enhanced movie going experience to all
our customers."



Said Amit Jain, President, Uber India, "Uber offers a convenient alternative to
driving for riders going to any event. We are thrilled about the experience this will
bring to millions of BookMyShow users as they will get to demand a hassle-free ride at the
push of a button."



The service is currently available only on Android app versions and will be released
in batches on the play store over the next few days.
