Tezzo: Carpooling across Indian cities. Split fuel, pay the driver.

Share a car ride between cities in India. Book a seat in a car already making the trip, or offer your empty seats. No commission: pay the driver by cash or UPI.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Sunil, I built Tezzo. In India, lots of cars go between cities every day with empty seats, while people going the same way wait for a bus or pay for a cab. Tezzo connects them: a driver posts the trip and the empty seats, a passenger going the same way books one, and they share the fuel and tolls. A few choices we made: - No commission. You pay the driver directly, in cash or UPI. Tezzo never handles the money. - Search finds rides whose route passes near you, not only ones starting in your town. - Safety first: government ID checked by hand, women-only rides where everyone has a verified ID, an SOS button during the ride, and your phone number is shown only on a confirmed booking. - You can message the driver before you book. It's on Android, iPhone and the web (tezzo.co.in). I'd love your feedback, especially on what would make you trust a stranger's car.

Hi everyone, I m Sunil, solo founder of Tezzo. In India, most people who share a ride between cities find each other in WhatsApp and Facebook groups. There s no verification, no ratings and no record of who you travelled with. Tezzo is my attempt to fix that: Google/Apple sign-in only, a phone number on every account, live-camera ID checks, women-only rides for verified women, and chat with the driver before booking. Passengers pay the driver directly in cash or UPI, and there s no commission.

541 people have signed up so far, 398 of them this October, all organic. My biggest challenge: most drivers are in North India and most searches come from the South. How would you seed supply on new routes? I d love your feedback.
