Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi launched Odisha Yatri, a state-owned ride-booking app, today in Bhubaneswar. The launch was part of the National Road Safety Month 2025 celebrations.
Developed by Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT), in collaboration with Moving Tech Innovations Private Limited, Odisha Yatri is the latest addition to Moving Tech's growing portfolio of mobility platforms.
The Bengaluru-based company, known for its successful Namma Yatri app in Bengaluru, has been expanding its zero-commission model across India.
Chief Minister Majhi described the Odisha Yatri app as the state’s first homegrown ride-booking platform, highlighting its ability to connect drivers directly with passengers while ensuring fair fares, enhanced safety, and better livelihoods for drivers. He encouraged citizens to adopt the app extensively for their travel needs in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
Moving Tech Goes Places
Odisha Yatri follows the success of Moving Tech's other platforms, including Yatri in Kochi (their first venture) and Delhi, Yatri Sathi in Kolkata, and Mana Yatri in Hyderabad. Like its predecessors, Odisha Yatri operates on a zero-commission model, allowing drivers to retain 100% of their earnings. Google has invested in Moving Tech.
The app features transparent pricing, fast bookings, and real-time tracking. It also incorporates advanced safety protocols in collaboration with the Police Commissionerate. Future expansions will include public transport booking and tourist site ticketing, coinciding with the upcoming Pravasi Bharatiya Divas event in Bhubaneswar.
The application is integrated with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), and it works on the Beckn Protocol.
