Idea

We are finetech startup with focus on mobility, with vision of one nation one travel card we have developed account based ticketing solutions that would allows users to travel in different mode like bus, metro, taxi with a single card. The card itself will be used as a ticket

Current Status

We have conducted the pilot project in Ahmedabad where we got 3000 card users and have more than 800 Drivers partner register with us. We did a profit of 50K $ in period of 7 Months.

We are soon expanding in other cities in State of Madhya Parades, we got a tie up with Government of Madhay Pradesh and by end of March we have planned to stat in3 cities of Madhya Pradesh with expected revenue turn over of more than 100 K per month.

Problem or Opportunity

In existing scenario, there are various apps like OLA UBER, PAYTM, REDBUS, CHALO etc into market, they have brought a change in way people travel. India with a vison of One nation one card is yet to achieve these due to various administrative limitation and challanges.

One nation one card was launched in India by Hon Prime Minter of country in 2019, but that card is used for the purchase of ticket rather than as a ticket.

With KATCH we have built up a solution where user can simply TAP-IN and TAP-OUT from the system and the amount get debited from the user account based on their usage. This solution will allow city to achieve multimodal integration along with fare integration as per the vision of NUTP2006.

The solution is design to promote pay and ride solutions in Bus, Taxi , Auto, Metros

Cities adopting the solution will have following advantage
1) Multimodal fare payment system will be achieved
2) Promoting cashless travel
3) unified fare payment system
4) Help cities in planning the future need of public transport in an integrated manner
5) Help cities in monitoring IPT Services
6) Help is planning and implementing fare policies for the public transport system
7) Improve the ridership of Public transport
8) Improve the safety and bring sustainability towards the public transport

Solution (product or service)

Common Mobility card is the vision of government of India, further after COVID Ministry of Housing and Urban affairs have also encourage to promote cashless travel.
So far, the innovation has been seen only for the bus users, We have not seen any app that promotes pass or promote cashless travel for the Auto, Taxi. Further, it has always been the challenging for cities to have multimodal and combine fare system.
Unique Feature of APP:
1) Available for both online and offline users thus applicable across urban and rural areas.
2) Payment can be done in IPT Service with simple use of phone number, thus making accessible even non SMART Phone user to ride cashless
3) Allow passenger to travel seamless from one mode to other by just TAP

Competitors

There are various compitator like OLA/UBER they are very good with TAXI,

PAYTM and red bus they are good with Intrer city bus booking

Ridlr is booking metro tickets for Delhi and Mumbai

However all these app are limited to one single mode, where as we are integrating multiple modes in a city.

Also they allow user to purchase the ticket from their platform, they app dose not work as a ticket
