Chennai/Kolkata, May 11 (NITN) Get Driven Technologies Pvt. Ltd, which owns DriversKart, India’s leading on-demand driver service provider, has acquired Driven in an equity and cash deal.
DriversKart recently closed a round of angel funding led by Namit Agarwal, Primarc Group, ApurvaSalarpuria, Lead Angels and ah! Ventures along with other silicon valley investors.

With this acquisition, DriversKart said it is now established as a market leader in India’s on-demand driver marketplace.
DriversKart is already servicing 10,000 rides a month and is present in Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Pune.
The company said it has been the preferred driver provider for self-drive car rental companies such as Zoomcar, Justride, etc., and has a strong presence in both B2B and B2C segments.
Vinit Srivastava, co-founder and CEO of Driverskart said, “Driven has a very strong team and good presence in the Mumbai consumer market and there is immediate value in this deal for DriversKart. We get access to a team who was equally excited and passionate about this space and have had tremendous learnings in short span of time.”
