Ride-hailing,
rebuilt from scratch

The captain network makes the whole thing work. Captains move cars between trips — not during them. Foldable e-bikes attach to the trunk rack for repositioning.

01

Book in seconds

Open Cali, choose EV or Manual, enter your destination. The algorithm confirms captain availability and dispatches immediately — no scheduling ahead.

Average wait: 4–6 min
02

Captain brings the car

A captain drives a clean, maintained car to your exact location. The handoff takes under a minute — no walkaround, no paperwork, no hub.

Delivered to your door, not a collection point
03

You drive

Your music. Your climate. Your pace. The full experience of a personal car without the EMI, parking stress, or maintenance. A captain is already heading to your drop-off.

Complete privacy — no driver in the cabin
04

Hand over and walk

Arrive at your destination and hand the keys to the captain already waiting. No parking. No fuel top-up. They fold their e-bike out of the trunk rack and ride to the next job.

₹187 for the same trip that costs ₹370 on cab-hailing

One captain.
Four trips.

In ride-hailing, a driver's time is locked up during every trip. Captains only move cars between trips — freeing them to initiate 4× more trips in the same window.

  • Driver pay falls from ₹8/km to ₹2/km

    Same ₹30,000/month captain salary, spread across 4× the trips. That saving passes directly to the fare.

  • Electric power, a fraction of the fuel bill

    MG Comet EV costs ₹1.30/km in energy — less than half the ₹3.27/km a CNG engine burns. Fewer moving parts means fewer repair bills too.

Captain delivers car (6 min)
Captain receiving car (8 min, overlaps trip)

Driver gap (6 min)
more trips per captain — same time window, same pay, radically different output.

The math works.

A per-km breakdown comparing MG Comet EV on car-hailing vs Wagon R CNG on ride-hailing. Every rupee accounted for.

Ride-hailing
Wagon R CNG
₹20.39
per live km (with 20% deadhead)
Vehicle cost₹3.20/km
Driver pay₹8.00/km
CNG fuel₹3.27/km
Maintenance₹1.40/km
Insurance₹0.44/km

Car-hailing operates at 47% lower cost per km than ride-hailing — structural, not promotional.
