Uber CEO Travis Kalanick speaks to students during an interaction at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) campus in Mumbai, India, January 19, 2016.
The CEO had been weighing a leave of absence from the company that's been grappling with a series of cascading crises. Kalanick has also been dealing with his own personal tragedy after the unexpected loss of his mother during a boating accident over Memorial Day weekend.
Even a few hours before Tuesday's company meeting, Kalanick had reportedly not made up his mind on what he wanted to do.
