Launch your own auto-rickshaw booking platform for India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. A purpose-built tuk-tuk app with meter fare, bargain fare, zone pricing, and regional payment integrations — branded and live in 7 days.
The auto-rickshaw — known as tuk-tuk in Thailand, keke in Nigeria, and three-wheeler across South Asia — is the backbone of urban transportation for billions of people in developing economies. With an estimated 50 million auto-rickshaws operating worldwide and a market valued at over $28 billion, this is one of the largest untapped opportunities in ride-hailing.
Most auto-rickshaw rides today are still hailed from the street with no technology involved. Passengers have no fare transparency, no way to track their ride, and no recourse if something goes wrong. Drivers operate without route optimization, demand insights, or digital earnings tracking. The gap between how this market operates and how it could operate with technology is enormous.
An auto-rickshaw booking app brings the reliability and transparency of modern ride-hailing to this massive market — giving passengers fare transparency and safety, while giving drivers better earnings and route efficiency. The first movers in each city will capture the market.
India alone has over 10 million rickshaws with rapidly growing app adoption in tier-2 and tier-3 cities
Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia have massive tuk-tuk markets ready for digital transformation
Nigeria, Kenya, and East Africa seeing explosive growth in three-wheeler transport and app adoption
Auto-rickshaws have extremely low fuel and maintenance costs, making them highly profitable per ride

Passengers propose a fare, and drivers accept or counter-offer. Replicates the natural bargaining culture of many auto-rickshaw markets digitally.
Multiple passengers share an auto-rickshaw on the same route, splitting the cost. Common in many markets where shared autos operate on fixed routes.
Simplified onboarding designed for drivers with limited tech experience.
