The Birth of Kabby: Revolutionizing intercity road travel

VMPL
New Delhi [India], January 6: In today's dynamic world, the way we travel has undergone a profound transformation. The COVID-19 pandemic played a pivotal role in reshaping our work culture, transitioning from a traditional office setting to a work-from-home (WFH) model and eventually to a hybrid mode. This shift has significantly influenced our lifestyles, enabling people to explore new places, enjoy diverse climates, and still meet work deadlines efficiently. This newfound flexibility has fostered a culture of increased intercity travel, which in turn has driven a surge in demand for cars of various segments to accommodate different passenger sizes and budgets.
Identifying the Opportunity
Industry insiders, recognizing this surge in demand, quickly seized the opportunity to increase prices. Much like predators spotting a vulnerable prey, they raised the cost of hiring cars and lowering payment to driver-owners, justifying the high fares with claims of non-availability of confirmed return journeys. However, the reality was starkly different. Drivers were compensated just enough to keep them attached, while the big players pocketed substantial profits, sometimes as high as 20-22%. In a country where 'Jugaad' (a flexible approach to problem-solving) is a way of life, vendors, travel agencies, and owner-drivers turned to free messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to support each other. They formed large groups, and soon, the balance between supply and demand was restored.
The Inspiration Behind Kabby
My neighbour, Neetu Aunty used to visit her grandchildren in US twice a year. Previously, she used to book her cab from Chandigarh to Delhi airport through a popular travel app. However, due to repeated non-availability initially and then high prices and uncertainty, she began relying on "Bittu," a young and dynamic travel agent in her neighbourhood. Bittu consistently arranged a car of her choice at a much lower cost that always reached on time , without any fuss created by the driver enroute - thanks to his network in various WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger groups. Even the drivers Bittu arranged had no confirmed return rides but were confident they would find one through their networking efforts.
Witnessing such instances repeatedly, I realized the need for a reliable, smooth, cost-effective, safe, efficient and confirmed intercity transportation service. My background as a fauji with over a decade of service had instilled in me the grit and unwavering determination necessary to pursue this goal. Coupled with my experience in the corporate sector. I decided to quit my job abroad and dedicate myself to building Kabby. Having interacted extensively with cab drivers during my previous assignments wherein intercity travel was extensive, I understood their mindset and working style. This insight fuelled my determination to create Kabby, setting the wheels in motion.
Building Kabby: Overcoming Challenges
The initial operations, human resources, and administrative setup were relatively straightforward. The meticulous planning was in place, but the real challenge lay in finding a reliable technology team to develop the app. Every founder faces obstacles, and for me, the biggest hurdle was the budget. With limited savings and no external financial support, I pressed on. Step by step, little by little, things started to take shape. After nearly eight months of confusion, anxiety and numerous challenges, Kabby was officially launched on June 1, 2024, with the help of my small team of dedicated believers.
