Our take
Envisioning a world where people can go anywhere, whenever they want, at the click of a button, Kyte is a fleet logistics platform that offers cars to be delivered to customers on-demand for daily, weekly or monthly use.
There are many limitations to the transportation industry and Kyte is working to find remedies, such as allowing customers to bypass the effort and inconvenience of car ownership or even traditional car rental. The company operates in over fourteen cities, a number that has nearly doubled between funding rounds.
Indeed, Kyte is investing into vastly expanding fleet whilst expanding into new markets globally. Long term, it will add new vehicle classes, notably planning to grow its electric vehicle fleet.
