Founded in 2014 in India, Wiwigo addresses the inefficiencies in the taxi industry by providing an online platform for searching, comparing, and booking outstation one-way and round-trip cabs. The company's unique selling proposition lies in its ability to offer one-way taxi rentals at significantly reduced prices, up to 50% cheaper than competitors who typically charge for round trips even for drop-offs.
The catalyst for Wiwigo's conception was a personal experience faced by the founder, where the necessity for a one-way trip resulted in an unjustified charge for a round-trip. This encounter led to the realization of a prevalent issue in the industry and the subsequent birth of Wiwigo.The platform's emphasis on transparency is evident through its rating system, which is invitation-based to prevent tampering. Customers are encouraged to rate their experience, fostering accountability among cab vendors and incentivizing improvements in service quality.
In July 2016, Wiwigo secured a $600.00K investment in a Seed Round from the Indian Angel Network, indicating investor confidence in the company's potential. Wiwigo's innovative approach and commitment to addressing industry pain points positions the company as a promising contender in the evolving travel and tourism landscape.
