UBER CEO RESIGNS..

Travis Kalanick has resigned as the chief executive of Uber, the ride-hailing startup he co-founded and turned into a global tech giant.Kalanick already announced last week that he was going on an indefinite leave of absencefollowing the death of his mother in a boating accident. But the move failed to defuse a growing crisis over his leadership and demands from investors that he resign from the $68 billion startup. "I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investors request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight," Kalanick said in a statement ,uaccording to an Uber spokesperson.
