Pushpa, India's fastest-growing ride-hailing platform, today announced its expansion into five new cities: Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Chandigarh. This strategic expansion brings Pushpa's total coverage to 15 cities nationwide, reinforcing its commitment to making safe and affordable transportation accessible to millions of Indians.
"This expansion represents a significant milestone in our journey to transform urban mobility across India," said Rajesh Kumar, Founder & CEO of Pushpa. "We're excited to bring our technology-driven, customer-first approach to these vibrant cities."
Pushpa has been recognized as the 'Best Ride-Hailing App of 2024' at the Indian Mobile App Awards. The award acknowledges Pushpa's innovative features, exceptional user experience, and commitment to driver welfare.
The judging panel praised Pushpa's AI-powered matching algorithm, comprehensive safety features, and transparent pricing model. With over 50,000 active riders and 5,000 driver partners, Pushpa has maintained an impressive 4.8-star rating across app stores.
In a major step towards sustainable transportation, Pushpa has announced strategic partnerships with three leading electric vehicle manufacturers. The collaboration aims to transition 30% of Pushpa's fleet to electric vehicles by 2025.
"Environmental sustainability is at the core of our mission," said Priya Sharma, CTO of Pushpa. "This partnership will not only reduce carbon emissions but also provide our driver partners with access to affordable, eco-friendly vehicles."
Pushpa today launched Pushpa Rewards, a comprehensive loyalty program designed to reward frequent riders with exclusive benefits, discounts, and priority booking. Members can earn points on every ride and redeem them for free trips, upgrades, and partner offers.
The program features three tiers - Silver, Gold, and Platinum - each offering progressively better benefits including priority customer support, special discounts, and exclusive event access.
Pushpa announced today that it has raised $50 million in Series B funding led by prominent venture capital firms. The funding will be used to accelerate technology development, expand to new markets, and enhance driver benefits.
"This investment validates our vision and approach to urban mobility," said Rajesh Kumar. "We're grateful for the trust our investors have placed in us and are excited to use these resources to serve our customers and driver partners better."
