We have always heard that change is the only constant. Nothing could be truer when we talk about the shared mobility industry in India, where the disruptions in the last five years have probably exceeded the technology innovations of over the last two decades combined in the ground transportation sector.
The changing usage patterns and changing ownership models have contributed to this paradigm shift and this has been further propelled by various environmental factors like rising pollution levels and search for sustainable environment-friendly solutions to service the growing transportation needs of India.
Increasing traffic in metro cities, higher travelling times, road congestion and pollution have all accelerated a shift in consumer usage patterns which is now focused on experience rather than ownership of the asset.
This has led to growth in the greener shared mobility options like self-drive car rentals, carpooling, subscription of cars and short term leasing.
This is where - ORIX Auto Infrastructure Services Limited, an affiliate of ORIX, a Japanese financial services group, has been building its niche in India over the last 25 years.
ORIX has the largest share in the automobile leasing industry in Japan and ORIX Auto Infrastructure Services Limited is the only company in India which provides an entire gamut of transportation services such as leasing, chauffeur driven cars, employee transport solutions, self-drive car rentals, fleet management solutions, subscription of vehicles and test drive experiences amongst other, under a single umbrella with a presence across all major tier-I and tier-II cities in India.
Completing 25 years in India in 2020, ORIX Auto Infrastructure Services Limited has gradually become a force to reckon with in the shared mobility space in the country by becoming India's largest B2B Car Rental provider, the largest car leasing provider in India and India's second-largest employee transportation solutions provider.
