Bangalore, May 8, 2025: AI-driven Corporate Transport-as-a-Service company Routematic today announced that it has secured USD 40 million (Rs 340 cr) in Series C funding round led by Fullerton Carbon Action Fund and Shift4Good. Ostara Advisors, a 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, Founder and CEO of Routematic, expressed excitement on the funding: “We are grateful for our investors' trust as we drive the future of corporate transportation.
