Aggregators in India’s transportation industry are growing up to be a force to reckon with.
In the Oxford Dictionary, the word aggregator is defined as a website or program that collects related items of content and displays them or links to them. In India, the word aggregator has come to be associated with radio taxi operators like Ola, Uber, SheTaxi, Apnacabs, Baxi and AutonCabs; shuttle bus operators like Shuttl, Cityflo and Zipgo, and on-demand transport companies like Quikhop, Rivigo, Trukky, Shiprocket, LetsTransport, ThePorter, Blackbuck, Truckola, 4TiGo and TruckMandi. Looked upon as a disruptive force in the US$ 300 billion transportation industry in India, these aggregators are technology driven. Leveraging cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) to help transporters and service providers to scale up their business for a fee or a commission; to enable clients and commuters to avail of a superior experience, aggregators are displaying the capability to dismantle malpractices and loopholes. Coming to play a significant role in the country’s mobility space, aggregators have moved beyond the start up phase. It is a different story that their success is fuelling startups.
