Invest in a differentiated Indian ride-hailing platform

CityRyde is building a safety-led, inclusive and affordable urban mobility platform for riders and Sarathis. The investment proposition combines a scalable marketplace model with gender-matched ride preferences, EV participation and future multi-city growth.

Positioning

Differentiated ride matching

Gender-matched ride preferences and safety-focused platform tools create a distinctive proposition for customers seeking greater comfort and confidence.

Scale

Asset-light marketplace model

CityRyde connects riders with independent Sarathis rather than owning a fleet, supporting phased expansion with a lighter operating structure.

Impact

Inclusive mobility and Sarathi economics

The platform is designed around fairer Sarathi participation, women-focused mobility, accessible travel considerations and an EV transition pathway.

Expansion

Indian city growth roadmap

Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam anchor the initial market approach, followed by phased Indian city expansion subject to approvals, demand validation and operational readiness.

Technology

Safety and verification infrastructure

Platform capabilities can include ride monitoring, in-app emergency support, structured Sarathi onboarding and periodic verification processes.

Brand

Community-led trust

Clear fares, transparent platform policies and local customer relationships can build long-term brand value in competitive urban mobility markets.

Advertising Partnerships
Advertisers and brands

Reach local customers through CityRyde ride advertising

CityRyde advertising partnerships are designed for brands seeking high-intent mobile engagement during the customer journey. Campaign availability, targeting and reporting depend on approved formats, user permissions and live service coverage.

Display

Booking and tracking banners

Place approved brand messages within selected booking confirmation, ride tracking or post-trip surfaces for contextually relevant visibility.

Awareness

Launch-screen campaigns

Use high-visibility splash or interstitial placements for product launches, seasonal promotions and city-specific brand campaigns.

Conversion

Offers, coupons and vouchers

Promote eligible discounts and redemption codes to support store visits, online purchases, app acquisition or repeat customer activity.

Local Reach

Geo-relevant notifications

Plan permission-based messages around selected cities, neighbourhoods, service zones or nearby outlets for more relevant hyperlocal marketing.

Sponsorship

Co-branded ride promotions

Sponsor an eligible ride category, route or campaign period to connect your brand with everyday urban mobility and commuter value.

Measurement

Campaign performance reporting

Review agreed campaign metrics such as impressions, interactions and coupon redemptions, subject to reporting availability and privacy safeguards.

Banking and Fintech
Banks, NBFCs and fintech companies

Build cashback, rewards and digital payment partnerships

Mobility is a recurring consumer-spend category. A CityRyde banking or fintech partnership can connect cardholders and account customers with useful ride benefits while supporting payment adoption, loyalty and customer acquisition.

Cards

Debit and credit card cashback

Create eligible ride cashback campaigns that encourage card usage and help keep your card relevant for everyday city travel.

Loyalty

Reward points for rides

Connect CityRyde transactions with an approved loyalty programme so customers can earn or redeem points under agreed campaign rules.

Acquisition

Ride vouchers for new customers

Bundle promotional ride credits with account openings, card activations, premium banking plans or other eligible customer-acquisition journeys.

Payments

UPI and digital wallet offers

Develop payment-linked ride discounts that can encourage use of a partner UPI handle, wallet or other approved digital payment product.

Inclusion

Women-focused financial products

Explore suitable savings, insurance or responsible credit propositions for women riders and Sarathis, subject to product eligibility and regulatory approval.

Insights

Privacy-conscious mobility insights

Where legally permitted, aggregated and anonymised campaign insights can support offer design without exposing an individual rider’s personal trip information.
