DriversKart, run by Get Driven Technologies Pvt Ltd and founded in 2015 by Vinit Srivastava, Lakshmi Potluri and Saksham Grover, provides an app-based marketplace to hire chauffeurs on an hourly, weekly or monthly basis. The platform aggregates drivers and agencies after verifying antecedents and training drivers, and currently operates in Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Chennai with about 20 employees. The startup said it will use the funds to enhance technology, driver training and on-boarding, and marketing to scale operations. Management aims to facilitate 10,000 rides a day within 12 months, though current ride volumes were not disclosed. DriversKart competes with players such as DriveU, Zimmber and Driver Bulao, and estimates the temporary driver services market in India at $8 billion. Investors noted the company’s ability to replicate the driver-on-demand model across cities, which they say should support aggressive pan-India expansion.
