Zuver, Your Driver on Demand Raises Rs 1.2 Cr in Its First Round of Funding From Shruth & Smith Group and Hermes Group

Zuver, a Mumbai-based startup, Co-founded by Sidhanth Mally and Sovin Hegde, raised Rs. 1.2 crore in early stage funding from Shruth & Smith Group, Bangalore and Hermes Group, Mumbai.

The Zuver app offers customers great flexibility as they can book a driver in advance or real time for an hour, or for a whole day through an app. The technology that powers Zuver allows them to locate and dispatch the driver who is positioned closest to the customer, within 40 minutes. Zuver is available on Android as well as on iOS.

If you are a regular traveler, you can upgrade your Zuver App with a monthly subscription where you can avail the driver for an entire month at a discounted rate and unlike other driver services, you can even book a driver for an outstation trip. The Package deal for 8 hours which only costs you Rs. 650, pay per minute and flexi plans make Zuver a highly economical choice.

With almost 60 drivers on board, Zuver is currently seeking Pre-Series A funding to expand to Pune and Bangalore. The startup is also planning to increase the number of drivers to 150 in Mumbai by May.

Sidhanth Mally, Co-Founder of Zuver said, “The term Zuver means reliable. Our idea was to launch an app that offers a reliable, cost-effective and flexible driver on demand service. What would make us one of a kind is the credibility. We ensure that our drivers have gone through multiple screening processes and tests before they are Zuver Drivers. The first round funding was used to kickstart our operations in Mumbai. We will soon be seeking Pre-Series A funding to expand to other metros. Currently, our focus is to ensure that Zuver is launched and functioning immaculately."

Sovin Hegde, Co-Founder of Zuver said, “The concept of a driver on demand is underserved. An integrated app that would let you book, track and pay for premium driver services which not just offers any driver, but a sophisticated, well-spoken and well-mannered one at your doorstep is certainly a novel concept. We are empowered by a technology that would let us dispatch a driver within 40 minutes of your booking. Zuver will transform the way many commutes.”
