Moving Tech Innovations (MTI), the Bengaluru-based company behind Namma Yatri, plans to work with major European cities to develop open public mobility infrastructure that allows local authorities to retain control over policy and data while preserving the independence of transport operators.
The company outlined its approach at the World Economic Forum’s Urban Transformation Summit 2026 in Geneva this week. MTI said its model draws on its experience in India, where its mobility platforms have facilitated close to 200 million trips through a subscription-led system that allows drivers to retain 100% of their fares.
MTI Co-founder Shan MS said mobility solutions developed in India, in collaboration with auto drivers, commuters and driver cooperatives, were gaining relevance in international markets.
The company’s Europe Managing Director, Mohit Mishra, said its expansion would focus on adapting open mobility infrastructure to local requirements rather than replicating an Indian application in European markets. He added that the approach would involve collaboration with cities and local mobility ecosystems.
European expansion
MTI has taken steps to establish its presence in Europe, including acquiring Netherlands-based Automicle and partnering with Dutch foundation Stichting FINOMAD to advance open public mobility in the region.
The company plans to collaborate with European cities to develop mobility systems that allow local authorities to determine policies and manage data while enabling transport operators to retain their independence.
MTI’s approach is based on the principle of Samaaj, Sarkaar, Bazaar — community, government and business working together to develop accessible and sustainable mobility services.
The company sees parallels between its mobility model and India’s digital public infrastructure, particularly the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which enables interoperable digital payments across participating platforms. MTI aims to apply a similar open-infrastructure approach to mobility, allowing multiple service providers to operate on shared technological systems.
MTI’s technology powers Namma Yatri, Chennai One, Yatri Sathi, Kerala Savaari, Odisha Yatri and Bharat Taxi. According to the company, these platforms have collectively facilitated close to 200 million trips.
The platforms are built on the Beckn Protocol, an open-source technical standard designed to enable digital transactions across different service providers and platforms. They are also connected to the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).
Under MTI’s subscription-led business model, drivers retain 100% of the fares paid by passengers rather than paying a commission on each trip.
MTI was spun out of Juspay in November 2023. The company is headquartered in Bengaluru, with its European subsidiary based in Amsterdam. Its proposed European expansion will focus on adapting the infrastructure developed in India to the policy frameworks and operational requirements of individual cities.
