MakeMyTrip buys a majority stake in ride-pooling app Quick Ride
The travel giant enters shared mobility for an undisclosed sum. Quick Ride's pooling business moves into a new company with its promoters still running it.
- Stake: majority, undisclosed
- New entity: Co Ride Mobility Pvt Ltd
- Announced around 6 Nov 2026
The deal
MakeMyTrip has acquired a majority stake in Bengaluru-based Quick Ride, taking it into ride pooling and shared commuting. The price and the exact stake were not disclosed.
Quick Ride's brand and ride-pooling business have been moved to a new entity, Co Ride Mobility Private Limited, where MakeMyTrip holds the majority. The earlier EV-taxi business stays with the predecessor company, iDisha Info Labs, and is not part of the deal.
What happens next
Quick Ride's promoters will continue to lead the business. Reports earlier said MakeMyTrip was doing due diligence through its redBus arm, and the move fits its string of acquisitions this year, including a majority stake in tour operator Flamingo Transworld in March.
Why it matters
Ride pooling lets commuters share private cars on the same route. For MakeMyTrip it adds a daily-use product to a business mostly built on occasional trips, and it extends its ground-transport play beyond redBus buses and cabs.
