Taxyy (legally registered as TAXYY MOBILITY AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES)[1] is an Indian mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) and ride-hailing technology company headquartered in Thrissur, Kerala.[2] Founded by entrepreneur Vishnu Chandran, the company develops and operates mobile software applications that connect passengers with local driver partners operating auto rickshaws, hatchbacks, sedans, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) across urban and semi-urban corridors in Kerala.[3]

The platform operates through a dual-application ecosystem available on Android and iOS devices: the consumer-facing Taxyy – Request a ride application (package identifier com.mytaxyy.user)[3][4] and the partner-facing Taxyy Driver dispatch application (package identifier com.mytaxyy.driver).[5] In addition to point-to-point city commuting, Taxyy provides intercity outstation travel, flexible hourly vehicle rentals, and hyperlocal parcel delivery services.[1]

History

Founding and early operations

Taxyy was established in Thrissur, Kerala, by founder and managing director Vishnu Chandran under the corporate entity TAXYY MOBILITY AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, with its registered headquarters at Marwa Arcade on Mahatma Gandhi Road (MG Road), Thrissur.[1][2] The platform was conceived to address transportation gaps in Tier-2 and Tier-3 municipalities in Kerala, where commuters frequently faced unpredictable street-hail fares, limited night-time availability, and fragmented dispatch coordination between three-wheeled auto rickshaws and four-wheeled taxicabs.[1]

Expansion across Kerala

Following its initial deployment across Thrissur city—covering Swaraj Round, Punkunnam, Ollur, Mannuthy, and the Guruvayur pilgrimage corridor—Taxyy expanded its operational footprint into Kochi (Ernakulam district), Kozhikode, Palakkad, and Thiruvananthapuram.[1][6] The platform also established airport transfer connectivity linking Cochin International Airport (Nedumbassery), Calicut International Airport, and Trivandrum International Airport with surrounding residential and commercial districts.[1]

Vehicle categories

Taxyy aggregates multiple vehicle classes within a single consumer interface to accommodate varying passenger capacities and road widths typical of Kerala's urban geography:[1][3]

  • Taxyy Auto: On-demand three-wheeled auto rickshaw bookings for short-distance neighborhood errands, railway station drops, and last-mile transit without street-hail bargaining.
  • Taxyy Mini / Hatchback: Compact air-conditioned four-door hatchbacks designed for economical daily city travel for up to four passengers.
  • Taxyy Prime Sedan: Comfort-oriented sedans with expanded luggage capacity for corporate commuters, families, and railway/airport transfers.
  • Taxyy SUV / XL: Six-to-seven-seater multi-utility and sport utility vehicles suited for group travel, pilgrimage tours, and family outstation journeys.
  • Outstation & Hourly Rentals: One-way and round-trip intercity bookings across Kerala and neighboring South Indian states, alongside multi-stop hourly rental packages.

Dispatch and fare model

When a passenger enters a pickup point and destination in the Taxyy app, the platform's geospatial routing engine calculates an upfront estimated fare in Indian rupees (INR) based on distance, vehicle category, and real-time route conditions.[3] Ride requests are broadcast to the nearest verified driver partner to minimize dead-mileage and passenger waiting times. Payments are supported via Unified Payments Interface (UPI), debit and credit cards, net banking, an integrated in-app Taxyy Wallet, and direct cash settlement.[1]

Mobile applications

Taxyy Rider application

The passenger application, published on the Google Play Store under the identifier com.mytaxyy.user[3] and on the Apple App Store (ID 1608868419),[4] provides real-time GPS vehicle tracking, estimated time of arrival (ETA) telemetry, masked two-way in-app communication between rider and driver, trip history logs, and automated digital invoicing.[2]

Taxyy Driver Partner application

The partner application, distributed on Google Play as Taxyy Driver (com.mytaxyy.driver)[5] and on the Apple App Store,[6] enables independent commercial drivers and fleet operators to upload Regional Transport Office (RTO) compliance documents, toggle online/offline availability, accept trip dispatches with turn-by-turn navigation, and track daily and weekly earnings.[5]

Safety and regulatory compliance

Taxyy operates in accordance with the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and state transport aggregator guidelines.[1] Prior to activation on the network, driver partners undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification, driving licence and commercial badge validation, Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC) inspection, fitness certification, and motor insurance verification.[1] Both applications incorporate a one-tap Emergency SOS feature that transmits live GPS coordinates to trusted emergency contacts and connects directly with Taxyy's 24/7 Safety Response Desk in Thrissur.[1]

Corporate affairs

Headquarters and leadership
