Ixigo Launches The Ixigo Coolie App
ixigo, India’s leading travel search marketplace is launching a new app — ixigo coolie. The app will help Indian travellers book coolies at railway stations and porters at airports all across the country.
An app that aims at getting the weight off your shoulders while you travel, ixigo coolie has aggregated over 1 million coolies all across the country in an effort to make your travel hassle free. The app has features such as ETA, type of coolies, price guide (you don’t need to bargain) and coolie profiles so that you can see their past ratings, languages spoken, user reviews and much more.
Speaking about the launch, Aloke Bajpai, CEO & Co-Founder, ixigo said – “ixigo’s mission has always been to solve a traveller’s pain points. We realise how tough it can be to catch hold of a coolie and bargain with them when you arrive at a station. Our app guarantees a coolie within 2 minutes of arrival at the station, in the lowest possible price. You just need to punch in your station, platform & coach before you reach and we will have the coolie of your choice waiting for you! It’s as simple as that. Also, thanks to GPS tracking, no one can run away with your luggage anymore. It’s safe, cheap, quick and convenient.”
Adding to this Rajnish Kumar, CTO & Co-Founder, ixigo said – “We’ve faced this problem of negotiating with coolies while travelling so many times, that ixigo decided to bring this problem to an end once and for all. Our app is user friendly and is quite literally the Uber for coolies. You’ll have to use it to find out just how simple it’s going to make your life while travelling!”
The ixigo coolie app will be available on both the android play store and apple app store. ixigo is aiming at gradually onboarding a larger base of coolies and porters to the app from all over the country, benefiting both the users as well as the coolies themselves. Get the app here.
