Questions about Sawari

Sawari is a carpooling app for everyday journeys, built in Bengaluru by Terragreen. Drivers offer empty seats on trips they are already making, and riders going the same way request a seat. Sawari is currently in beta.

Sawari is operated by Terragreen Innovations LLP and/or Terragreen Tech Innovations Private Limited (LLPIN ACR-8279), based in Bommanahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

Sawari is for people who make regular trips — especially daily commutes — and would rather share them. Riders get a seat on a journey that is already going their way; drivers offer the empty seats on trips they are making anyway. Colleagues travelling to the same workplace are a natural fit.

A driver offers a trip they are already making, with a route, a time and the number of seats they can share. Riders travelling the same way see that journey and request a seat. The driver decides which requests to accept, and both can follow the trip in the app.

Set your pickup point and destination. Sawari shows journeys going your way, with the driver, the vehicle and the pickup time, before you confirm. You send a request to the driver, who chooses whether to accept it.

Offer the trip you are already making: set where you start, where you are going and how many seats you can share. Riders going your way send requests, and you decide which to accept. Sawari may ask for licence, vehicle and insurance information before you can offer journeys.

No. Drivers choose which ride requests to accept. Sawari does not guarantee that a particular driver or rider will accept a request.

Where applicable, Sawari may verify user, employee and vehicle information — for example a corporate email address or employee verification for corporate features, and licence, vehicle and insurance information for drivers. Verification lowers risk, but no platform can guarantee how another person will behave.

Depending on the service and the permissions you grant, Sawari provides trip information before you travel, live trip features and trip sharing, reporting of unsafe behaviour, support, and SOS functionality where available. If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services first — in India, dial 112.

Where applicable, Sawari may facilitate a shared contribution associated with a shared journey; how it is calculated and collected can vary by service. Sawari is not for commercial transportation, and users must follow the transport, licensing, tax and insurance rules that apply where they travel.

Where Carpool Points are offered, they are platform usage credits. They are not currency, cryptocurrency, a bank balance or an investment, and are not intended to be withdrawn as cash unless Sawari expressly permits it. They may have expiry dates, limits or other conditions.

No. On ride-hailing services you book a vehicle and driver for your own trip. On Sawari, drivers share seats on journeys they are already making, and they choose who to take along.

Companies, mobility partners and organisations can talk to Sawari about employee carpooling. Corporate features can include corporate email and employee verification, and any reporting to a company should use aggregated or appropriately limited information — Sawari should not expose an employee’s precise home location to their employer or colleagues.
