How does namma yatri make money? This don't add up. "it's a CSR initiative" the cost to run something at this scale is too much to be pure CSR. It has to make money somehow. "They will introduce credit for drivers" high risk, won't be enough revenue to run operations at this scale. "Haskell makes it cheap to run" still has to use Google Maps APIs and that can be anywhere from 0.6 Rs to 3 Rs per trip. Not enough to be covered from 25 daily fees.

Isn't your startup doing the same thing? How is it different.
I was told instead of taking comissions like Ola uber, they work on subscription model on daily basis. Like 35₹ a day as platform fees. Besides that a proper user ca confirm the details.
It runs on the subscription model and the charges aren't known publicly. But it's sure that drivers subscribe to namma yatri per day basis and gives zero extra commission to them.
I read in one article "To reduce the map cost, the team switched from Google Maps to Open Street Maps thus lowering the cost of APIs"
They charge 25 rupess everyday from each driver!
It’s supported by the union, hence, indirectly by the govt. who cares about when it makes money
Maybe they are penetrating now and will make money later?
They do charge their drivers. Instead of a commission they charge a separate amount upfront.
