Speaking on Gupta’s departure from the company, a spokesperson said, “Over the past four years, Manik has elevated our product strategy and has been the driving force behind some of our most ambitious launches, including Uber Rewards and Uber Pro, Uber Wallet, and our movement towards a ‘super app. We’re grateful for his leadership and wish him the very best.”

Although Uber is yet to have a replacement for Gupta, the company plans to keep Gupta in the company for a bit longer till they find a suitable replacement. Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi will be working closely with a general partner at Benchmark, Matt Cohler, to search for a new product officer for the company.
