About Bozzo Cabs

Bozzo Cabs is a mobility startup building a transparent ride-hailing platform designed to serve both drivers and customers.

We are preparing for our Hyderabad market rollout, starting with Bike and Auto services, with a long-term vision to expand across India.

The selected candidate will be responsible for building and executing Bozzo's entire Hyderabad ground operations from the initial testing stage through pilot launch and city-level expansion.

You will be expected to independently plan, execute, monitor and improve all operational activities on the ground.
