OVERVIEW
Tripda is a venture by Rocket Internet (the worldâs largest internet venture incubator who's behind the success of Zalora, Lazada, foodpanda, etc. here in Malaysia and globally), and we already have operations in 13 countries!
Tripda is an online carpooling platform that connects drivers commuting with empty seats in their cars and passengers heading the same way. Tripda is easy-to-use and has various advanced & innovative features (e.g. safety measures, user rating system, fair price recommendations, car detail registration, user profile & preferences, SMS and email confirmation & reminders) and unlike any other carpooling website out there. Tripdaâs services are free-of-charge â check us out at www.tripda.com.my.
Our vision is to transform carpooling into a viable transportation alternative, so both driver & passenger can share the cost of the trip, while meeting new people, reducing traffic and preserving the environment!
Founded in Brazil in May 2014, Malaysia's operations launched in Sept 2014. We also raised USD 11 million (~RM40 million) in our Series A funding round in Jan 2015 proving strong interest & value in our business model & strategy globally.

MISSION
Tripdaâs mission is to make carpooling a viable, mainstream and safe transportation method. We believe that there is so much more to a trip than just the destination. We want to give people the tools to make friends, protect the earth, save money, and enjoy the whole experience from their doorstep to their journeyâs end.
Tripda is developed for people to share their rides anywhere in the world in a fun, easy, conscientious and safe way. More than just a website, Tripda is a reliable and friendly Community with the objective of offering a sustainable transportation alternative, accessible to all passengers throughout the world.
CULTURE
All of us here at Tripda are driven towards this objective of connecting people and making trips to anywhere more efficient. Our Goal, based on the principles of the Sharing Economy, is to make it easy for our members to communicate so everyone wins â drivers, passengers, our society in general and the environment. We strongly believe talent is key and we encourage all our leaders to behave like owners and to master global and local market knowledge.
So, what are you waiting for? Spread the sharing economy culture. Embrace the alternatives to ownership and possession. Consequently, encourage positive changes in our consumption patterns.
