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 revenu

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"

I checked open street map API, it's just raw geo data. Either they are using Google maps distance matrix, roads, places API fully (which they are doing looking at the source code) or they are making it in house which is massively complex, expensive and will be inferior to Google maps API

Yeah I am not from tech background can't fully understand it's inner workings. But for now they have only mentioned to charge that nominal fees from drives which we all know. There was one open mobility challenge hosted by Namma Yatri in 2023(I was also part of it) and one of its track was to "Map Cost Improvements" where Harsh Gupta and Sahana Gowda team won you can find them on LinkedIn reachout if they suggested some solution to this or atleast have a better understanding on this topic. You can find Harsh Gupta by just googling "Harsh Gupta Namma Yatri" he has mentioned he had won that hackathon.
