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.

Maker update, 9 days in 👋

Tezzo has crossed 910 signups so far, 767 of them in October, all organic. The biggest thing we’ve learned: most drivers are in North India, but most ride searches come from the South. So people search for a ride and find nothing on their route.

I’d love your take, especially if you’ve built a two-sided marketplace or shared rides between cities in India:

How would you seed driver supply on a brand-new route?
What’s one thing that would make you trust a stranger’s car enough to book a seat?

I’ve also started a thread on this in p/tezzo-2. Every reply gets read and answered. Thank you!

Why intercity carpooling in India still lives in WhatsApp groups

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.
