According to reports, Namma Yatri, a ride-hailing platform based in Bengaluru, is considering entering the US market.
According to a Moneycontrol report, the company is reportedly in talks with several unions in the US. The company wants to make a name for itself in a market dominated by giants like Uber and Lyft.
The difficulties of joining this market were emphasised by Biju Mathew, co-founder of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA), who said, “It’s a free market, and anyone with a better product can enter, but the question is whether they can sustain it because the taxi industry is a very low-margin business.”
According to him, Uber and Lyft are the two companies that dominate the US market.
There is no difference in the state of drivers in the US and India. Without lowering fares, businesses are unable to enter new markets, and drivers lose revenue as fares decline. According to Mathew, businesses that invest a significant amount of capital in a market must also guarantee investors a rate of return.
