Gurgaon: Gurgaon-based Unicus Infolabs has launched GetMeCab.com as a cab-booking website in India. Launched on 25 April 2011, the site has recorded 135 transactions and 300 registered user base till date. The company targets a capital of 
22 lakh to 25 lakh this financial year and take it to 1 crore in the next financial year, reports AlooTechie.
Launched by Udai Singh, GetMeCab.com is an aggregator of car rental inventory. They tie up with high quality car rental operators and bring their inventory on our platform. The portal charges commission on each transaction, which happens through the system and is working to establish other revenue models like affiliate networks and SaaS offering for the operator. The company currently works with car rental operators in Delhi-NCR and plan to expand to other cities in India soon.
Udai Singh, an IIT Kanpur and IIM Ahmedabad alumni, was the product manager and business head for international flights (online) in MakeMyTrip.com. He said that from market size point of view cab rental market in India is more than 10, 000 crore and is growing at 20-25 percent annually. He finds two pain points. Speaking about one, that is the pain point of vendors, Singh said that the car rental vendors are fragmented and do not have effective way to market their services. They rely on lead generation channels that have a much higher COCA. The current inventory allocation and dispatch process is manual and it leaves a lot of room to optimize the same.
Speaking about the consumer pain points, he said that there is no platform to compare prices across vendors and book online, no platform for immediate confirmation of the booking, no guarantee of service levels across vendors and service types and price transparency issues.
