History

Meru cab was founded by Neeraj Gupta in Mumbai on April 2007 by raising funds against an equity stake in the company from India Value Fund, which is a private equity fund with a corpus of over US$1.4 Billion.
On 2 February 2014, Google Now and Meru Cabs announced a partnership to provide instant alerts to customers. Meru cabs partnered with French taxi service provider Taxis G7 to provide taxi services globally.
In January 2016, Meru cabs started ride sharing options in New Delhi. They branched out from their traditional green Radio Taxis to open categories of Hatchback, Sedan and SUV in January 2017. Meru is the only taxi service that does not use dynamic pricing; this plays as a key differentiator.
