The intercity bus startup, which has earlier raised Rs 16 crore from ixigo, will use the latest funds to scale its operations, enhance its technological capabilities, and strengthen its strategic team to drive growth. It will also be used to expand its route network by adding 15 new routes and launching 150 e-buses soon.
