Ride-hailing platform Namma Yatri has introduced zero-commission cab services under the brand ‘Yatri’ in the Delhi NCR region, aiming to heighten competition with Uber and Ola in this bustling market. The platform will not impose subscription fees or commissions for its electric auto rickshaws and cabs in Delhi NCR until March 2026, according to Shan MS, co-founder of Moving Tech Innovations, which operates Namma Yatri.
Yatri provides autorickshaw, AC mini, AC sedan, and AC XL cab services at competitive prices, featuring a lifetime zero-commission policy.
Namma Yatri, along with its suite of mobility apps—including Yatri, Mana Yatri, and Yatri Sathi—functions as an open mobility platform on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), adhering to a zero-commission model. This zero-commission approach is also utilized by Ola and Uber for their auto rickshaw services, as well as by Rapido, which is backed by WestBridge Capital, for its cab and auto-rickshaw offerings.
In this model, driver partners pay a subscription fee for accessing the platform’s rider discovery service rather than a per-ride commission fee, which typically ranges from 25% to 30%.
Moving Tech was established by Shan M S, the former chief growth officer of fintech platform Juspay, and Magizhan Selvan, the former chief product officer. Juspay holds a majority stake in Moving Tech, with its founders and senior managers also owning shares. In April, Moving Tech was spun off from Juspay into a standalone entity.
The company, known for pioneering the subscription model in India’s ride-hailing sector, competes with rivals such as Ola Cabs, Uber, and Swiggy-backed Rapido. It officially launched its cab services in Bengaluru, its largest market, in April and is also considering expansion into rental and inter-city rides.
Last month, Moving Tech secured its first external funding of $11 million, valuing the company at $55 million. The funding round was led by venture capital firms Blume Ventures and Antler.
