The company started with car leasing and entered into taxi segment with Easy Cabs in 2006 and self-driven segment in 2014 with Myles. It has its own dedicated fleet of 6500 cars to provide the services. It has raised INR 55 crores from Sequoia (in 2006) and BTS India (in 2011).
Other players in the car rental segment include Zoomcar, JustRide, Savaari among other smaller players and the unorganized operators as well. In the taxi segment it faces stiff competition from the heavily funded players like Ola, Uber and Meru Cabs for a share of the INR 50,000 crore industry.

It also acquired Bangalore based ride sharing startup Ridingo in April 2015.
