DriversKart

DriversKart is a Chennai, India-based transportation technology company that provides an on-demand chauffeur service through a mobile application, allowing users to hire background-checked drivers for their personal vehicles. The platform operates on both hourly and subscription-based models, serving individual commuters alongside business-to-business clients such as hotels, car hire agencies, travel agents, and hospitals. At its peak, the 20-employee enterprise maintained active operations across five major Indian cities including Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Chennai. The company raised an undisclosed amount of Pre-Series A funding led by ah! Ventures, with participation from individual investors including Sidharth Pansari, Apurva Salarpuria, and Namit Agarwal. The startup was subsequently acquired by competitor DriveU in an all-equity transaction that transitioned the chief executive into an advisory role. DriversKart was founded in 2015 by Vinit Srivastava, Saksham Grover, Kopal Maheshwari, and Lakshmi Potluri.
