Today, Meru has a significant presence in the airport ride hailing segment and provides on-call and employee mobility services to corporates in India. Meru also has a large number of electric vehicles in their fleet.

The addition of Meru under its brand, will further strengthen Mahindra Logistics’s mobility business. The company is already a leader in its Enterprise Mobility Service (ETMS) business, which operates under the ‘Alyte’ brand. With this acquisition, the company will enhance its range of mobility solutions with strategic focus on enterprise customers and electric mobility.
