Company mission
Ornikar's mission is to transform the overall car mobility experience for drivers around the world.
36% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Learning to drive can be a lengthy and expensive experience, and finding the right driving instructor can be very difficult. Ornikar solves this problem by providing an online marketplace where teachers and learner drivers can connect.
Compared to traditional driving schools, Ornikar's online platform is more flexible. This appeals especially to customers who have to schedule lessons around full-time work. Ornikar is also around 35% cheaper than ordinary driving schools, and this is part of the reason the company has enjoyed considerable success in France.
Ornikar has ambitions to expand into new markets in Europe and further abroad. It also recently diversified into car insurance and plans to diversify further into other car-related products. This sort of agility will no doubt facilitate an impressive level of growth for the company.
