He says, “With the second-largest road network in the world, India has over 8 million commercial transportation vehicles that drive across the length of 4.7 million kms of roads. But unbelievably, nearly 75% of these do NOT yet leverage technology.”
Prateek Maheshwari, Co-founder and CEO, NightPanda says, “TempoGo has helped us reduce a lot of time which gets wasted in explaining customer’s address to the delivery boys.”
Harshwardhan Raikar, Co-Founder and CEO of Guarented (funded by Kalaari’sKStart) says, “TempoGo helped us tremendously in real-time route planning and delivery scheduling to fight the Bangalore traffic. Our customer happiness index has improved dramatically since.”
