Uber’s Code-Driven Transformation

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says the company should be understood less as a ride-hailing platform and more as a large technology system built and maintained by engineers. Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, he described how software development remains central to Uber’s operations and long-term strategy.

Embracing AI As A Preparation Tool

Khosrowshahi explained that some internal teams use an AI tool informally referred to as “Dara AI” to simulate executive feedback during preparation meetings. The system allows teams to test presentations and refine arguments before final reviews. The approach reflects Uber’s broader focus on using AI to improve internal decision-making and workflow efficiency.

Engineering As The Architectural Backbone

According to Khosrowshahi, around 90% of Uber’s engineers are already using AI tools in their daily work, while roughly 30% are considered advanced users applying AI to redesign parts of the company’s infrastructure. The shift positions engineers not only as builders of existing systems but also as key drivers of future product and platform development.

Productivity Redefined

Khosrowshahi noted that AI adoption is significantly improving engineering productivity and accelerating development cycles. The company views these tools as a way to optimize processes rather than replace technical expertise.

Uber’s internal use of AI illustrates how large technology companies are integrating automation into core operations while reshaping how teams collaborate and ship products.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
