Registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, and established on June 6, 2025, Bharat Taxi operates on a zero-commission and surge-free pricing model, with direct profit distribution among drivers. This positions the platform as an indigenous alternative to foreign investment-backed ride-hailing services. PIC/ X
