Carrum Mobility enters Kolkata: what its Uber tie-up means for drivers

Uber has a new fleet partner in Kolkata, after Gurugram-based Carrum Mobility announced the launch of its operations in the city.

Carrum Mobility, which supplies cars to ride-hailing platforms, said it has tied up with Uber to onboard drivers as it enters the eastern India market for the first time.

The company runs a fleet of over 4,500 cars across Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru and now Kolkata, and provides driver-partner onboarding, vehicle maintenance, compliance management and daily fleet operations for ride-hailing platforms.

A ‘structured onboarding programme’ covering vehicle handling, safety practices and platform training has been introduced for Kolkata’s new driver-partners, said founder and CEO Karan Jain.

‘Founded in 2024, Carrum Mobility provides business-to-business mobility solutions to ride-hailing platforms. We are currently operating at an annualised revenue run rate of Rs 400 crore,’ Jain said, adding that the company plans to onboard around 1,000 driver partners in Kolkata over the next 12 months.

The expansion adds Kolkata to Carrum Mobility’s growing list of cities as it deepens its partnership with Uber across India’s ride-hailing market.
