inDrive brings affordable and transparent rides for Puja revellers, empowering drivers and making festive travel stress-free
Kolkata, 16th September, 2025 – As Bengal gears up for the grandeur of Durga Puja, inDrive, India’s only ride-hailing app with a unique fair bargaining model, is making festive travel easier, more affordable, and rewarding for both passengers and drivers.
With pandal hopping reaching its peak, inDrive offers a stress-free alternative to navigating traffic and finding parking. Commuters can sit back, immerse themselves in the celebrations, and leave the travel to inDrive’s trusted community of driver-partners.
At the heart of inDrive’s offering is its “freedom of choice” model, where passengers and drivers mutually agree on a fair price before every ride. This transparent system ensures 90% of the fare stays with the driver, enabling them to earn more during the busy festive season, while passengers benefit from flexible and reliable rides across Kolkata.
inDrive is encouraging the city’s Puja enthusiasts to support the driver community by choosing more rides, reinforcing a cycle of fair earnings and joyful celebrations.
> “Durga Puja is not just a festival; it’s an emotion that unites the people of Kolkata. At inDrive, we want people to celebrate freely, hopping from one pandal to another without worrying about parking or high fares. With our fair price and freedom of choice model, riders enjoy a fair deal, and drivers take home a larger share of their hard work. This Puja, let’s celebrate together with inDrive,” said Avik Karmakar, Ride-Hailing & Marketing Lead, inDrive.
