How did inDriver become so popular in Nepal?

Imagine this: you’re rushing to go somewhere. You do not have your own vehicle and can not trust the public vehicle infrastructure in your city. The only option you have now is to hop on to ride-hailing services. You open your phone, and tap on your GO-TO app. However, it becomes almost impossible to find a rider in one go. You share this incident among your friends and they let you know that these days, everyone is hooked upon a new ride-hailing app. A new app named, “inDriver”.

Well, that was not an imaginary situation but an incident that actually happened with me. Following day, I tried booking a ride in the inDriver App and was surprised at the number of bids I got for my request. There were almost 5 riders who sent me a price-bid for ride-request within 5 seconds. Even for popular apps like Tootle or Pathao, it takes too long to get a ride request accepted. So, what made inDriver so popular? Let’s discuss a little bit.
