Our company operates under the brand name CHALO.

CHALO is solving a real-world problem that impacts 200 million Indians everyday. Today we are already present in 22 cities with 20,000 city buses on our platform, employing 800+ people, issuing 70 lakh tickets a day and reporting a GMV of $250 million. Our goal at CHALO, is to become India’s largest mobility company.

Transport is the #2 spend category (following food) for an average Indian household. Bus tickets account for 60% of $60 billion annually of total transport spend which is 10x of taxis. However, bus commuters are inconvenienced by lack of visibility and reliability of bus arrivals, resulting in missed connections, delays in their workday and having to resort to more expensive modes of transportation. It is estimated that each bus commuter spends the equivalent of 8 days a year waiting for a bus. Bus operators on the other hand run into losses of thousands of crores of Rupees annually.

At CHALO, we aim to make travel better.

· We are thought leaders in urban mobility. We work with multiple cities/state governments on various issues ranging from technology solutions for public transport, increasing bus fleet, improving transit infrastructure to urban transport planning.

· Our products add real value. We improve intracity travel experience for bus commuters by reducing wait time by 40 minutes and lower ticketing transaction cost by 50% for bus operators. We also assist bus operators with route optimization, crew management and revenue maximization.

· We believe in happy and satisfied customers. Commuters receive visible information on their bus arrival, take buses more often which helps our operators increase revenue, which further improves services for our commuters.

· We deeply believe in giving back to society. By providing a great mobility solution we also help reduce carbon footprint, increase household savings and lead to a significant improvement in the quality of life for our consumers.

We deliver these solutions by providing an end-to-end Platform As A Service, and deploy both the hardware and software solutions. Our intensive on-ground operations via our city teams allow us to manage, monitor and deliver our goals by working closely with bus operators and transport authorities.

To achieve our ambition, we have a team of dynamic and diverse set of individuals. We are a multi-disciplinary company and hire professionals across a wide variety of roles ranging from product, operations, tech, business strategy, marketing, finance and HR. We believe great talent can come from all walks of life and thus, we invest in developing and honing into individual talent. Our value system is based on:

· Each individual in the CHALO family ranging from our bus crew to our city managers must embody our key values of Respect, Ownership, Courage and Delivering World Class Results.

· We believe in a transparent, cohesive and closely knit culture

· We welcome flexible work schedules for individual circumstances, removing barriers and accommodating employees with different needs

· We celebrate the diversity of viewpoints and provide fair and equal opportunities to all irrespective of race, colour, gender, language, religion, national or social origin, birth or other status.

· We believe in empowering our teams to take decisions and allow each individual to own the results she/he produces

· We are execution oriented but yet we constantly take time to question, introspect and learn.

At the very core of our DNA is a deep desire to achieve our highest potential.
