Open Mobility Platform
Ride-hailing built for drivers — zero commission, community-owned
Namma Yatri connects riders and drivers directly. No middleman taking a cut. Drivers keep 100% of their earnings. Riders get fair, transparent fares.
We are redefining urban mobility with an open-source, community-governed platform. From demand-based pricing to real-time matching, every feature serves drivers and riders — not investors. Backed by Antler Vietnam with $1.5M Seed funding, we are scaling across South and Southeast Asia.
Platform Capabilities
Built differently, from the ground up
Every component of Namma Yatri is designed with driver welfare and rider transparency at the center.
Zero Commission Model
Drivers retain every rupee they earn. Our platform operates on a flat subscription model, not a percentage rake on every ride.
Transparent Fare Calculation
Riders see exactly how the fare is calculated — base rate, distance, time, and surge pricing — with no hidden platform fees.
Community Governance
Platform rules are decided collectively by driver and rider councils. No unilateral pricing changes, ever.
Real-Time Ride Matching
Our open-source dispatch engine matches riders with nearby drivers in seconds using location-aware routing and demand prediction.
Open API Ecosystem
Third-party developers can integrate with Namma Yatri to build fleet tools, analytics dashboards, and driver welfare apps.
Driver Income Analytics
Drivers access detailed earnings reports, peak demand maps, and route optimization insights through the driver app dashboard.
How It Works
Simple for riders, fair for drivers
Namma Yatri removes every layer of friction between a rider who needs a ride and a driver ready to provide one.
Rider Requests a Ride
The rider opens the app, enters destination, and sees a transparent fare estimate with full breakdown — no surge surprises.
Open Dispatch Engine Matches
Our open-source algorithm finds the nearest available driver, considers traffic, and sends a match request in under 3 seconds.
Driver Accepts on Their Terms
Drivers see the full route, fare, and rider rating before accepting. No forced auto-assignment. Full driver autonomy preserved.
Ride Completed, Driver Paid
Payment processes instantly. The driver receives 100% of the agreed fare. Namma Yatri earns through its flat subscription, not per-ride cuts.
Open Platform
Built in the open. Governed by the community.
Namma Yatri's entire platform — from matching algorithms to payment rails — is open source. Audit it, fork it, build on it.
Funding
Backed to scale open mobility
In January 2025, Namma Yatri closed its $1.5M Seed Round backed by Antler Vietnam — a signal that driver-first, community-owned mobility is the future.
Antler Vietnam is a global early-stage venture firm backing exceptional founders building category-defining companies across Southeast Asia. Their investment in Namma Yatri reflects conviction in open, equitable mobility infrastructure.
