What we intend to do differently

Design commitments for the product we're building — not features that exist in a live app yet.

Our approach

What we intend to do differently

These are design commitments for the product we're building — not features that exist in a live app yet.

Transparent pricing

Fares shown up front, with a plan to avoid unpredictable surge multipliers so riders can budget with confidence.

Lower commission target

A commission structure designed to leave drivers with more of each fare than they report earning today.

Safety by design

Trip sharing, driver verification, and in-app reporting built in at launch, not bolted on later.

Local-first coverage

Starting deep in Kathmandu Valley rather than spreading thin across many cities at once.

Adjacent services later

Delivery and logistics considered only after ride-hailing operations are stable.

Built to reach profitability

Unit economics designed around sustainable margins rather than subsidized growth.

In practice

How this maps to the problems we named

No surge → trust

Addresses the pricing opacity and surge complaints riders report today.

Lower commissions → retention

Aimed directly at the driver churn problem we described on the problem page.

Safety tooling → confidence

Built at launch rather than added after incidents force the issue.
