Lucky Gupta
In a global ride-hailing world dominated by behemoths, one Indian young entrepreneur has dared to dream differently. Lucky Gupta, at just 21 years young, created OTO Cabs not only as a company, but as a mission — re-establishing fairness, dignity, and safety on India’s roads.
Having grown up and studied in Noida, Lucky saw firsthand the imperfections in the current cab ecosystem. While firms like Ola and Uber promised ease, they frequently delivered frustration — to passengers as well as drivers. Drivers complained of excessive commission cuts, no support, and relentless pressure to pursue incentives. Passengers encountered surge prices, cancellations, and safety issues, particularly for women.
Rather than grumbling, Lucky Gupta created a solution — OTO Cabs, India’s first zero-commission, subscription-based ride service.
Here, drivers retain 100% of their fare, with only a fixed subscription to use the platform. This not only enhances their earnings but also peace of mind — resulting in improved service, cleaner vehicles, and more respectful interactions.
For passengers, OTO is no surge pricing, live tracking of rides, vetted drivers, and upfront fares. It’s a ride that values your time, money, and most importantly — your safety.
OTO is more than just another taxi app, though. It’s a movement towards self-reliance.
In this day and age where we’re speaking about “vocal for local,” backing OTO Cabs means backing India’s own invention. While multinational companies take over our daily ride and reexport profit to foreign shores, OTO re-invests in Indian lives — from our drivers to our software engineers to our cities.
Lucky Gupta’s dream is not to expand a business, but to create a new standard of urban transport — one that is equitable, secure, and Indian in spirit.
“We don’t aspire to be the largest. We aspire to be the most trusted,” Lucky asserts.
This is a modest request to all Indians:
Before you open up a foreign app, use a homegrown one.
Before you fuel billion-dollar global platforms, extend a chance to an ambitious young Indian entrepreneur.
Let’s make something of ours — together.
Because the destiny of Indian tourism cannot be outsourced.
It should be crafted by us, for us — and OTO Cabs is at the front.
