While we onboard drivers
Pool now. Bring a driver you trust.
We’re onboarding more auto and taxi drivers, so that pooling and driver assignment soon happen automatically. Until then, we pool you with students going your way, and one of you calls a driver you know.
Every ride you book shows drivers there’s steady work from campus, and that’s how we bring more of them on board.
Know a good auto driver?
Send them your invite link. They apply in Tamil or English, and we check their licence before their first ride. The more good drivers join, the sooner rides get a driver automatically.

How it works
Three stops to a cheaper ride.
- 01
Pick your stops
Choose a pickup and drop hub: your campus gate, the Junction, the airport, Srirangam and more.
- 02
Join a pool
Pick a 30-minute slot. IIM Trichy students heading the same way are pooled together, and can chat to plan the ride.
- 03
Call a driver you trust
One of you calls an auto or taxi driver you know and notes them for the pool, so everyone can see who’s coming. You split the fare.
The route
Two roads. 23 stops.
From the campus gates on NH 336, past the airport, into the Junction, the Fort and Srirangam, or off to Panjappur Bus Stand. Pick any two on the same road.

Safety
Only students. Drivers you trust.
Passkey sign-in
Sign in with your fingerprint, face or screen lock. No passwords to leak or forget.
Drivers you trust
For now, your pool rides with a driver one of you knows. Drivers who join Pogalaame have their licence checked before their first ride.
SOS during the ride
One tap alerts the Pogalaame team and makes a live-location link to send your emergency contacts, with the driver’s details.
For auto and taxi drivers
Full autos. Both ways.
Pogalaame books riders for your trip into the city and for the ride back, so you stop driving home empty. Drivers join with an invite link from a student or a driver already on Pogalaame.
