Union Home and Cooperation Minister launched Bharat Taxi, India’s first cooperative-based ride-hailing platform.
It was registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, and established on 6 June 2025.
The platform places drivers, called sarathis (charioteers), at the centre of ownership and operations, removing dependence on exploitative aggregator models.
Bharat Taxi operates on zero commission and surge-free pricing, distributing profits directly to drivers.
The platform aims to expand across India within two years.
