Havas Media has bagged the integrated media mandate for ClubMyCab following a multi-agency pitch. The account will be handled by the agency's New Delhi office.

The biggest obstacle to ride sharing taking off in a big way in India is that people don't feel safe sharing a cab or car with strangers. ClubMyCab, a ride sharing app, believes that sharing works best with people one trusts – friends, colleagues and neighbours – not with strangers.

ClubMyCab allows people to create these trusted 'clubs' of known people who travel the same routes as them and start sharing with them.

Speaking on the appointment, Pratul Chopra, Founder-CEO, ClubMyCab, said, “Ride sharing is still a nascent concept in India and requires building customer awareness towards the benefits. We are, therefore, partnering with Havas Media to take this message to our customers. We believe Havas Media's vast experience and established infrastructure in customer communication design and delivery will be of immense value to ClubMyCab.”

Anita Nayyar, CEO, Havas Media Group - India and South Asia, said, “ClubMyCab is an innovative concept and very necessary in the daily lives of Indians. Comfort, affordability and above all safety are the key drivers in travel today and ClubMyCab offers these. More so, travelling in a more social environment helps beat the traffic grind and also allows for a happier disposition and hence higher productivity. We look forward to partner with the team as they scale in India.”
