Auto-rickshaw aggregator Jugnoo ties up with Oye Taxi and Scootapp

In a bid to deepen its customer base and tap existing consumers of the on-demand transportation ecosystem, Jugnoo, a mobile app that offers networking of auto-rickshaws in India has recently tied-up with OyeTaxi and Scootapp.

Jugnoo intends to add to the customer's options of these aggregator platforms. Both are meta search platforms of different transportation service providers, where users can compare various modes of transport based on price, ETA, surcharge and vehicle type.

"At Jugnoo, we believe that such partnerships are imperative as they enable us to reach a bigger user base and make our services more accessible given the popularity of auto-rickshaws in our country. Our platform redefines the experience of hailing an auto-rickshaw," Jugnoo Founder and CEO Samar Singla said.

The alliance with Jugnoo autos would help OyeTaxi to fulfill its vision of providing a one stop solution for all kind of transit options.

"Auto-rickshaws are the preferred mode of transportation for the masses and given Jugnoo's strong presence in this domain, it made great strategic sense to collaborate," said OyeTaxi Co-Founder Vipul Mittal.

Commenting on the association, Scootapp Co-Founder Aditya Bagmane said: "Synergy with Jugnoo helps us achieve this since the three-wheeler ride is the most popular and economical option that people like to opt for."

Scootapp aims to be an all-in-one taxi aggregator app, which includes on demand cabs, autos and intercity cabs "and this partnership with Jugnoo can help it get there. It would ensure the most economical means of transport guaranteed to the user through Jugnoo, enabling the user to be able to book an auto straight through Scoot," Bagmane added.
