Shared mobility for everyday India

Share the ride with My Pillion.

Thousands of bikes and cars make the same trip every morning with empty seats. My Pillion matches people already heading your way, snaps pickup and drop points onto the rider's existing route, and lets both sides split what the journey actually costs.

Currently in private beta in Hyderabad, with live ride matching, in-app chat, and PIN-verified pickups.

A complete shared ride experience.

Designed around the realities of daily commutes: live locations, route fit, pickup clarity, and confidence before every ride.

R

Route-aware matching

We only surface people moving in the same direction, and snap their pickup and drop to the closest point on your existing route so the detour stays small.

P

Live pickup flow

Live location sharing while a ride is active, turn-by-turn navigation, and clear trip stages from request through to drop.

S

PIN-verified boarding

Every trip starts only when the pillion's four-digit PIN is verified by the rider, so both sides know they have matched with the right person.

Rider mode

For people with a route and an empty seat.

Turn a trip you are already making into a shared one. Go live on your current route or post a scheduled ride, then review and accept the requests that actually fit your way.

  • ✓ Go live now or post a scheduled ride
  • ✓ See each request's detour before accepting
  • ✓ Verify boarding with a PIN
  • ✓ Offset what the trip costs you
Pillion mode

For people who just need to get across town.

Search your destination, see who is already heading that way, and check exactly where you would board and alight before you commit to anything.

  • ✓ Ping nearby riders on your route
  • ✓ See your walk to the boarding point
  • ✓ Track the rider arriving live
  • ✓ Chat and call inside the app

Built for how India already moves.

Two-wheelers dominate Indian cities and most of them travel with an empty pillion seat. My Pillion is built for that gap: not a new fleet on the road, but better use of the trips already happening.

Profile and phone verification

Sign-in is tied to a Google account and a phone number verified by OTP before anyone can go live or request a ride.

PX

PIN-verified pickups

A trip cannot start until the rider verifies the pillion's four-digit PIN, which confirms both people matched correctly.

RT

Live ride visibility

Location is published only while a ride is active, and both sides see trip stages from acceptance through to completion.

INR

Transparent cost sharing

The trip share is calculated from distance and shown to both sides up front. The money moves directly between them.
