01 — The challenge

A new category, with no map to follow.

With no comparable network in the country, the startup needed to find where demand would be, how to operate within the rules and how to price and position against existing options.

02 — Our approach

Find the traffic, then plan the rollout.

We built the entry plan around where riders already stop:

  • Location analysis and market entry strategy
  • High-traffic site identification around motorcycle hubs
  • Regulatory and operational planning
  • Launch rollout strategy across tier-1 cities
  • Competitive positioning and pricing strategy

03 — The outcome

200+ sites ready for launch.

The work secured more than 200 strategic, high-traffic locations for the network.
