Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) faculty members, students and alumni have designed and developed a mobile application, OptRoute to enable easier and efficient transportation of goods within cities. This mobile app connects a driver with the consumer with no intermediaries. The key points of differences between OptRoute and existing services include zero commission per transaction and nominal subscription-based service model and direct payment from consumer to driver. The OptRoute app is available for Android devices and can be downloaded from Google Play Store. It is currently available for operational use in multiple cities across India, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Faridabad, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Noida, Panchkula, Pune, Mohali, Surat and Zirakpur.
