Carrum Mobility rolls into Kolkata: 4,500 cars, 1,000 driver jobs promised

Gurugram-based fleet management startup Carrum Mobility has entered the eastern India market, launching operations in Kolkata and tying up with Uber to onboard drivers in the city.

The company, which supplies cars to ride-hailing platforms, currently operates a fleet of over 4,500 vehicles across Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru and now Kolkata. Its services span driver-partner onboarding, vehicle maintenance, compliance management and daily fleet operations for platforms such as Uber.

For the Kolkata launch, Carrum Mobility has rolled out a ‘structured onboarding programme’ for driver-partners, covering vehicle handling, safety practices and platform training, according to founder and CEO Karan Jain.

‘Founded in 2024, Carrum Mobility provides business-to-business mobility solutions to ride-hailing platforms. We are currently operating at an annualised revenue run rate of Rs 400 crore,’ Jain said.

‘With our launch in Kolkata, we have entered the eastern India market and plan to expand further. We aim to onboard around 1,000 driver partners in the city over the next 12 months,’ he added.

The Kolkata expansion marks Carrum Mobility’s push beyond its existing base of five cities, positioning the company for wider growth across India’s ride-hailing ecosystem.
