About

Heard of the Chalo before? Probably not.

Would you then believe that Chalo has 20,000 city buses on its platform across 25 cities, staffs 800+ people, issues 2mn tickets a day and reports a GMV of $250 million? If that left you surprised, we have clearly done a great job of building in stealth mode!

 

We are solving a real-world problem that affects 200 million Indians everyday and on the way, creating India's largest mobility company. If you are hungry to solve complicated problems, always build for massive scale and ready to commit yourself to delivering value to our stakeholders - we encourage you to keep reading.

 

How Large Is The Problem?

Transport is the #2 spend category for an average Indian household accounting for 20% of all expenses; only food is more. Bus tickets account for 60% of $60 billion annually of this expenditure i.e. 10x of taxis. However, each bus commuter spends the equivalent of 8 days a year waiting for a bus and bus operators have losses running into hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

 

What We Solve?

We aim to make travel better for everyone. Today we do so by improving the experience of taking city buses - 30 minutes less waiting, 50% lower ticket transaction cost. This kick starts a virtuous circle, where happier commuters means more rides which in turn means more revenue for our bus operator partners, which means better services for commuters. Our most important KPI is the revenue uplift achieved - we are currently tracking at 20% uplift, enabling some operators to be profitable for maybe the first time in this business.

 

Still More?

The opportunity to build a company comes rarely, the opportunity to build a company that can so dramatically impact the lives of millions, comes once in several lifetimes. If that opportunity does come knocking, you better be prepared to grab it with both hands and then give all of yourself to it.

About the company

Founded and launched in December 2010 by IIT Bombay graduates, Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati, Ola is India's most popular mobile app for transportation. Initially launched as an online travel company to facilitate short weekend holidays, it soon began to recognize the growing need for hassle free day-to-day transport. Six years later, filling that vacuum in the market continues to be Ola's vision, to provide seamless and convenient mobility to a billion Indians. Breaking new ground in the on-demand cab aggregator market in India, Ola began as a market innovator and has today come to lead the country's on-road transport sector not only in terms of volume, but also in terms of innovation and creativity.

As one of the fastest growing Unicorns, Ola takes pride in being entrepreneurial, experimental and innovative! In India, Ola is synonymous with cab travel today and is the favoured choice of transportation for millions of Indians every day. Present in 100+ cities, with over 5.5 lakh driver-partners attached to its platform, Ola has around 4.5 lakh vehicles plying on the roads every day. Ola's edge lies in understanding the local dynamics and creating solutions specifically for the Indian market. Launching e-rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, Ola Micro and shared mobility solutions like Ola Share and Shuttle on its platform, are few of the recent examples in this direction. Given its 'Made for India' focus, it has a definitive advantage of innovation and hyper-local execution.

Ola encourages all its employees to practice the utmost creative freedom in everything that they do, allowing for ground-breaking ideas, innovation and steady advancement. It is a constant effort that Ola's employees understand the value of being output-focussed, hardworking and passionate, and, work towards achieving the core vision of Ola, i.e., to build mobility for a billion Indians.

About Tummoc

'Commute' spelt backwards is ‘Tummoc’ (well, minus the "e").


That's what we're here for—To reverse the downward trend in the use of public transport in urban India!


Leading the smart commute revolution in India, Tummoc is a multimodal platform promoting public transport while making the most of private modes. 


Indian cities are congested beyond comfort and the private-vehicle-driven commute habits lead to record pollution levels. The immediate solution is a mass transition to Public Transport. 


Tummoc helps track and find actionable & accurate intra-city travel information for the bus/metro/suburban rail. You can purchase passes directly on the app in Bangalore at the moment, and soon we'll be launching online ticketing in other cities as well. 


Plan your journey with the best possible public transport routes in seconds! Explore the fastest and cheapest bus, metro, or bus AND metro routes. This is a one-of-a-kind service backed by a PATENT! You can also track the cost of your journey and the carbon saved. 


We also help you find the best first and last-mile rides to get you to and from public transit stations.


Tummoc at a Glance

At Tummoc, we believe in a human-first approach, navigating away from the focus on roles and job titles. Irrespective of what your job title may say, we encourage you to explore different avenues and just keep learning and growing. 


We look for passionate and focused individuals who love what they do and are always up for a challenge. 


The team is filled with individuals who aim for the stars and don’t let setbacks push them down too hard. And if they fall, their teammates are right there beside them to pick them up.


The team is made up of people from all over the country, and from all walks of life. The beauty is that it’s these differences that make work interesting. There’s always something to learn from the people sitting around you. 


Basically, we believe that life is all about balance. There will be ups and downs always, but as long as you keep doing what you’re doing to the best ability, nothing can come in the way of achieving everything you dream of. 


Join the Smart Commute Revolution


Life at Tummoc can be extremely fulfilling because everything you do will create an impact. And there’s a sense of pride that comes with witnessing commuters actually using and appreciating a product that you’re involved in.
