@makemytrip + @QuickRidein
MakeMyTrip just picked up a majority stake in Quick Ride.
Quick Ride has been running carpools and bike pools in Bengaluru and a few other cities for years- basicallyy the “split the ride, split the cost” option many people already use for office commutes. MMT now gets a ready user base and a working carpooling product instead of building one from scratch.
For Quick Ride users, nothing dramatic changes overnight. You’ll still book the same way. For MMT, it means they can start offering shared rides alongside their regular cabs and intercity options, which makes sense if they want to stay relevant for daily commute traffic too.
Simple move. Two companies that already know the same customers.
