Ex-Uber leader Deval Delivala to drive GetSetUp's expansion of India business

GetSetUp has announced one of its early investors, former Uber flagship senior leader Deval Delivala, has joined the company as Senior Vice President of International Markets. Delivala was one of the first 20 employees at Uber and led the company's expansion across numerous international markets. At GetSetUp, Deval will be responsible for driving the company’s international foray into several markets including India.

GetSetUp was founded to create economic, social and educational opportunities for older adults, and in the 15 months since its founding, has achieved significant growth in partnerships and platform usage, including more than 1.2 million users in 160 countries and multiple partners, particularly in the health and wellness industry. During the past three months, GetSetUp users around the globe have logged more than 4 million active minutes on the platform by accessing the 500-plus hours of programming available each week. GetSetUp has localized sites in India, as well as in the U.S. and Australia, and will soon launch sites in Singapore, Canada and the United Kingdom. The company already has 15+ classes daily for Indian users and plans to offer classes in regional languages soon.

According to Delivala, "I want to help grow GetSetUp as a global platform for older adults to learn, socialize, get fit and contribute to our communities. I'd like it to be a safe space for them to be curious and learn without judgments and build an empathetic community, particularly in light of the COVID-19 spikes we're seeing in some areas of the world, which can mean more isolation for millions of people."

"It's an honor to have Deval join the GetSetUp team to extend our solution globally and accelerate our mission. We see a huge community of older adults who want to come online and become learners and creators. Deval's expertise in launching new markets helps us unlock a huge network of older adults and solidifies our global presence by offering 24/7 programming for our community," says, Neil D'souza, CEO of GetSetUp.

In her most recent role, Deval was Head of Supply Growth for India and led multiple initiatives, like enhanced safety, vehicle financing and Uber's leasing business.
