Started in 2018, Quikmile platforms help fleet owners by monitoring engine behaviour, tire conditions and mileage to improve route planning, demand forecasting, analyzing vehicular performance and organized achievement of targets. It also takes on manpower issues by monitoring driver behaviour such as distance travelled per day, maximum and average speed and harsh braking.

As we scale up our team with world-class talent, we are thrilled to welcome the Quikmile team as part of Airtel X Labs.
