PRATIP Mazumder, Country Manager for India at inDrive, spoke with TNIE's Rakesh Kumar about the company's vision for 2025 and its strategy to get a strong foothold in the competitive ride-hailing market. Excerpts:

- 

Where is inDrive positioned in India, and how do you plan to carve out a space in India?

We are proud to say that inDrive is the second most downloaded ride-hailing app globally, after Uber. We have a strong presence in 46 countries and 749 cities. We're also market leaders in several South American countries, including neighbouring nations like Pakistan, as well as other parts of South Asia. Additionally, we are seeing rapid growth in the Philippines and other countries across the Asia Pacific region. The ride-hailing market in India is unlike any other. The scale here is massive we are talking about a market with 13-15 million daily trips. Given the size of the market, there will always be multiple players. The opportunity is so big that even a small share can be incredibly valuable, often surpassing what might be considered leadership in smaller countries. This is why everyone is eager to enter the Indian market.
