Mobile marketplace for inter-city trucking in India

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a mobile marketplace that connects truck owners and logistics companies for inter-city freight transport in India. Our product simplifies booking and tracking shipments, improving efficiency in a fragmented market that traditionally relies on offline brokers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and will continue to be headquartered there after YC. We also operate in California.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in Hyderabad anchors us in the Indian logistics market where the problem is most acute and where our network of truck owners exists. Our presence in California helps us understand and serve clients with international operations or Indian shipments moving abroad.
