Bangalore, May,
2025.
Routematic, India’s
leading AI-driven Corporate Transport-as-a-Service company, providing
full-stack corporate commute serving over 300 corporates across 23 cities in
India, today announced that it has secured $40 million (INR 340
Cr) in Series C funding round led by Fullerton Carbon Action
Fund and Shift4Good. Ostara Advisors, India’s leading Climate-tech Investment
Banking firm, were the exclusive financial advisors to Routematic on this
transaction.
Founded in 2013,
Routematic has consistently been at the forefront of Enterprise mobility
solutions, redefining corporate transportation with a blend of AI-driven
technology delivering safe and predictable commute experience to over 300,000
employees, 5 Million trips in a month.
India’s employee
transportation market is expected to reach $13.2 billion by 2030, driven by
factors such as massive business growth in GCCs, focus on employee well-being,
and sustainability. Routematic aims to capitalize on this momentum by scaling
its corporate commute services, with plans to expand its fleet to over 10,000
vehicles across the top five cities by March 2026.
With its AI-powered
SaaS platform already streamlining corporate transportation, Routematic’s next
phase focuses on establishing city-level command centers. These hubs will
enable demand-responsive fleet management at scale, enhancing the employee
commute experience while significantly reducing transportation costs for
enterprises. Routematic is also planning to convert 30% of its fleet into EVs
to help its clients achieve ESG goals.
Sriram Kannan,

“We are grateful for our investors' trust as we drive the future of
corporate transportation. This investment will enable us to capitalize on the
