Company profile
researched Aug 2026Vahak operates an online freight-booking marketplace in India that connects load owners and shippers directly with verified lorry owners, with an emphasis on light commercial vehicle (LCV) bookings. Users enter pickup and drop cities to check indicative prices, post a load with details and a target price, and the load is listed on the Vahak marketplace, where nearby verified lorry owners respond with their own prices. The shipper confirms a bid, pays a booking amount, and then receives live tracking of the consignment along with support until the goods reach the destination. A complementary "lorry market" / find-loads view lets transporters and lorry owners see loads available at a given time and place their vehicles in the market.
The service is delivered primarily through an Android mobile application, described on the company's site as available on Google Play with an iOS version stated as forthcoming. In-app functions include booking lorries, viewing live tracking, receiving lorry alerts, and managing payments. The company also markets a membership option offering premium features to vehicle owners. Positioning claims on the site stress transparent pricing with no hidden charges, verified counterparties, and prompt release of balance payments to lorry owners after unloading.
Business model
Vahak runs a two-sided digital marketplace intermediating between shippers/load owners and lorry owners. Transactions are initiated by load posting and closed when a shipper confirms a lorry owner's quoted price and pays a booking amount; the company retains involvement through tracking and support until delivery.
The company's site references a booking amount paid on confirmation of a lorry and a paid membership option that provides benefits and premium features to vehicle owners.
Traction
Company-stated figures include more than 10 lakh (1 million) verified transporters/lorry owners, coverage of 850+ cities, over 100,000 trips completed, more than 5 million (50L+) app downloads, a 4.0-star Google Play rating, an average first bid in about four minutes, and 98.2% on-time delivery.
