In Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), Moving Tech Innovations, the parent company of Namma Yatri, has officially launched its new lifelong zero-commission cab service called “Yatri”. The app, which provides community-driven travel solutions and is part of the ONDC Network, has seen substantial expansion with the introduction.
Following a successful auto pilot, Yatri, India’s first open and community-driven cab and auto service app, has launched its cab services on a larger scale. Using a zero-commission strategy, the app aspires to increase driver profits by 15-20% while providing inexpensive transportation. Improved vehicle maintenance and enhanced safety are two benefits of this model’s cutting-edge features.
Transport choices are becoming more accessible and affordable thanks to ONGC’s network-centric approach and open design. For drivers making more money, it levels the playing field. The Chief Business Officer of ONDC, Shireesh Joshi, expressed the organization’s continued dedication to facilitating community-driven projects that prioritise people and propel India towards a future of intelligent, efficient, and inclusive transportation solutions.
Fully Open-Source, Open Network, and Open Data Platform
Yatri is a platform that runs on three pillars: open source, open network, and open data. The service provides affordable Auto, AC Mini, AC Sedan, and AC XL Cabs and incorporates dynamic booking and fast dispatch procedures. Food, grocery, and e-commerce are all part of the ONDC Network, which is an effort to consolidate several forms of transportation.
“In the middle of the country, we’re thrilled to be expanding our taxi services. Dedicated to improving the lives of both drivers and people, Yatri goes beyond being just an app. It is a movement. Yatri encourages Samaaj, Sarkar, and Bazaar to work together closely so that the city can become more empowered and linked. Electric Autos & Cabs in Delhi NCR will not collect any subscription fees or commission till March 2026”, according to Shan M S, Co-Founder of Moving Tech, as part of their commitment to support the EV goal.
Google Realising the Potentials of Moving Tech
Namma Yatri’s parent, Moving Tech, has also received funding from Google. New options, such as rentals and rapid travel, were recently introduced to Namma Yatri’s service.
To help speed up the acceptance of digital services in the crucial foreign market, Google has already stated its intention to invest $10 billion in India over the next five to seven years, beginning in 2020.
In April, Namma Yatri formally separated from its parent firm, Juspay, to become Moving Tech. This new mobility company is headed by Magizhan Selvan, CEO, and Shan M. S., COO, both of whom were previously with Juspay.
Namma Yatri faces stiff competition in India from services like Uber, Ola, and Rapido- funded by Swiggy. With Google’s help, Namma Yatri might soon grow to incorporate things like carpooling and bike taxis, even if they aren’t available at the moment.
Namma Yatri’s founders have stated that the company will utilise the additional capital to expand its engineering and research and development capabilities, as well as to provide other forms of transportation, such as buses.
