Paytm Uber tie-up

Taxi-hailing app Uber said on Tuesday it has tied up with online payments major Alipay for a global partnership that would enable Chinese commuters to book and pay for cab rides through each other's app across 400 cities where Uber operates. A similar product integration is in the works with the Alipay-backed Indian digital payments platform Paytm to be launched in the coming months, which will let Indian travellers take an Uber ride and pay in Indian currency, executives from the three companies said.
