Subscription-based shared electric mobility service, offering zero cancellations, zero surge pricing, and zero pollution.
Focusing on office-goers and school students, MyPickup delivers a hassle-free, booking-less daily commute experience, targeting reliable and affordable transportation options in urban areas.

Unreliable transport: Commuters often face last-minute cancellations or delays with traditional ride-hailing services. MyPickup solves this with its guaranteed availability by subscription-based service.
Surge pricing and affordability: Peak-time surge pricing on platforms like Uber and Ola makes commuting expensive. MyPickup offers fixed, affordable pricing, ensuring commuters can plan their budgets without unexpected costs.

MyPickup’s fully electric fleet contributes to reduce urban air pollution, therefore encouraging the transition to greener mobility.

Current Target Segments: Urban commuters in Tier 1 cities, addressing the fragmented daily commute market.
Future Target Segments: Expanding to B2B partnerships with SMEs, resorts, hospitals, & coaching classes, offering subscription-based services for a wider range of use cases.
