What if transportation in India could be truly fair, inclusive, and accessible to everyone? For Vishnu Aravind, founder of FAIRGO, this was not just a question—it was a mission. Driven by purpose rather than capital, Vishnu built FAIRGO from the ground up, starting with zero investment, no investors, and no financial backing. His vision was clear: to bridge the digital and economic divide and empower millions of people across India with accessible mobility.
Founded in Kerala, FAIRGO is an AI-powered dual-mode ride-hailing platform, designed to make transportation seamless for everyone. Unlike traditional ride-hailing services that rely solely on smartphones, FAIRGO allows users to book rides using both smartphones and regular phone calls. This innovation ensures that even those without smart devices or internet access can travel safely and reliably—a true breakthrough for rural and semi-urban communities.
How FAIRGO Stands Out:
- Dual-mode booking: Smartphones or traditional phone calls, making mobility inclusive.
- AI-powered matching: Proprietary algorithms ensure quick and efficient rider-driver pairing.
- Fair pricing: Transparent fares calculated upfront, protecting both riders and drivers.
- Personalized experience: The platform learns user preferences for routes, vehicle types, and schedules.
- Secure operations: End-to-end encryption and verified driver authentication for safe rides.
- Scalable & sustainable: Built to serve diverse regions, languages, and communities
Vishnu Aravind’s journey was not without challenges. Facing financial struggles, public doubt, and repeated rejections, he stayed committed to his purpose: mobility should be a right, not a privilege. Over time, FAIRGO evolved into more than just a ride-hailing platform—it became a national movement for ethical, transparent, and people-centered mobility.
The impact is tangible. Millions of users now have access to reliable and fair transportation, empowering them to pursue education, work, and essential travel without barriers.
Featured by StartupByDoc, Sharks of India, and Yourzourney, FAIRGO stands as a testament to purpose-driven innovation and the power of resilience and vision.
At its core, FAIRGO embodies Vishnu’s philosophy: technology should empower, not exclude. Every ride is a step toward equitable mobility, community inclusion, and social impact. Vishnu’s vision continues to expand, with FAIRGO paving the way for a future where mobility is accessible, reliable, and fair for all.
FAIRGO is more than a transportation platform—it’s a movement, a promise, and a revolution led by Vishnu Aravind to make mobility truly inclusive across India.
