BlaBlaCar Becomes India’s Largest Market With 20M Passengers

BlaBlaCar has made India its biggest global market, projecting 20 million passengers in 2025, up nearly 50% year-over-year.
After shutting its India office in 2017, the carpooling platform has surged back thanks to cheap intercity travel, UPI digital payments, and expanding road networks.
CEO Nicolas Brusson says India now accounts for one-third of BlaBlaCar’s carpool users — even though the company hasn’t begun monetizing locally.
A new India office is planned for 2026 as the platform scales beyond major cities.
