TIL Desk Lucknow/ With more than two billion rides completed across the world, inDrive, an international ride-hailing platform, is disrupting the ride-sharing industry in Uttar Pradesh by allowing passengers and drivers to negotiate fairer fares among themselves. inDrive launched its services in Lucknow in 2019 and since then has been giving customers the liberty to set the price for their intracity and inDrive.City to city rides.
“We launched inDrive in Lucknow to make mobility more accessible to all people in the city because, at our core, we believe that everyone has the right to accessible and affordable services. We are set to continue on this path in 2023 and expand our services in Lucknow and other cities of Uttar Pradesh. Starting today, we will be open for registration of auto rickshaws in Lucknow,” said Mr. Roman Ermoshin, Director of Ride-Hailing (APAC) inDrive.
Creating fairer solutions to address the existing gaps in underserved markets has become a crucial part of inDrive’s global expansion strategy. inDrive has therefore launched auto rickshaws in India, to offer more fairly priced ride-hailing choices to people.
When it comes to getting around Lucknow, auto-rickshaws are a staple. After a successful launch in Delhi NCR, Surat and Chennai, registration for auto-rickshaws is now open in Lucknow. This works just like hailing any other kind of inDrive vehicle; drivers can register, submit their documents via the app, and start accepting inDrive orders once verified.
Evolving over the years, inDriver (Independent Drivers) has transformed to become inDrive (Inner Drive) a marketplace of urban services. InDrive is a people driven company that believes that there is no technology in the world that can replace human empathy. inDrive exists to prove that ride-hailing apps can and should be more human – because a fair price is something people can agree on, not hope for.
Today, inDrive is the second most downloaded mobility app in the world and serves more than 100 million users worldwide in over 700 cities across 47 countries on five continents.
“The number of active users in the city is growing fast. We already have thousands of registered drivers in Lucknow. All our driver partners are highly experienced and have completed the full document-verification process. Today, for the first time in India, we have also started an initiative to thank our most active users. We have awarded our most active drivers and passengers in Lucknow,” added Mr. Ermoshin.
