Kolkata, August 06, 2025 :
inDrive, the world’s fastest-growing urban mobility platform and India’s only ride-bargain app, has officially launched its Comfort Class rides in Kolkata, offering a premium and more spacious travel option to users in the city.
This strategic rollout marks a significant step in inDrive’s mission to disrupt conventional ride-hailing norms and bring fairness, transparency, and choice to both passengers and drivers.
Breaking Away from Algorithmic Control
Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms where fares are dictated by opaque algorithms, inDrive operates on a unique model that allows passengers to propose fares, which drivers can then accept, reject, or counter. This transparent two-way negotiation fosters a more democratic ride-hailing environment, allowing users to agree on a price that works for both parties. The platform’s people-first approach challenges the longstanding duopoly in the sector and empowers drivers and passengers alike.
Introducing Comfort Class for Elevated Travel
The newly launched Comfort Class caters to users seeking a more premium ride experience. It features top-rated drivers (with ratings of 4.8 and above) and well-maintained sedan cars equipped with air conditioning and extra legroom. The category ensures a smoother, more comfortable ride while allowing drivers to earn higher fares per trip, fostering a win-win ecosystem.
“Comfort Class is not just about better cars—it’s about better experiences for everyone involved,” the company stated.
Driving Fairness in Every Ride
Rooted in its “fair play” business philosophy, inDrive is committed to ensuring mobility is driven by choice and mutual respect—not hidden pricing systems. The company views the ability for passengers and drivers to agree on fares as a fundamental right rather than a feature.
“At inDrive, we believe mobility should be about freedom and fairness, not rigid algorithms or corporate monopolies,” said Pratip Mazumder, India Country Manager at inDrive. “The launch of Comfort Class rides in Kolkata is another step toward giving users more choice while staying true to our mission of empowerment. With Comfort Class, passengers enjoy a premium travel experience while drivers earn more—creating a truly balanced and fair system.”
As inDrive expands its footprint in India, the launch of Comfort Class in Kolkata stands as a testament to the company’s vision of putting people, not platforms, in control of urban mobility.
