About the Company

inDrive

Global ride-hailing platform with fare negotiation

inDrive operates a global mobility and urban services platform that connects passengers with independent drivers through a fare-negotiation system. Riders propose a trip price, and nearby drivers can accept, decline, or counteroffer, creating a peer-to-peer ride-hailing model. The service has expanded to intercity rides, delivery and cargo, groceries, advertising, and driver-focused fintech within its app. Unlike typical ride-hailing apps that use fixed fares, inDrive enables price negotiation and direct driver-rider interaction, and it pursues growth through a venture arm that funds ride-hailing-adjacent startups in emerging markets. This broader strategy aims to build a super-app for urban and gig-economy needs, with the goal of offering a wide range of mobility and urban services in 48 countries.
