Where Everyone Saw Risk, Dhruvam Saw Opportunity
In 2016, Dhruvam was working as a mechanical engineer, earning a monthly salary of ₹42,000. Yet, he always had a thought in his mind—he wanted to build something of his own, something that aligned with his personality and values.
With this thought, he took a step that would later become an inspiration for many. He left his comfortable job and embarked on a solo journey to turn his business dream into reality.
No Capital, No Support – Only Strong Willpower
When Dhruvam applied for a bank loan to start his new business, it was rejected. His family and friends were skeptical about his decision. But Dhruvam did not give up. He gathered his savings, took help from his wife and family members, purchased a car, and launched The SMART Taxi.
He started driving the taxi himself. For him, this business was not just about earning money—it was about a vision and a sense of responsibility.
The Toughest Test: Spending 500 Nights in a Car
Every entrepreneur faces challenges in the early days, but for Dhruvam, it was an extreme test of perseverance.
He spent hundreds of nights sleeping in his car.
To save daily expenses, he used public pay-and-use facilities.
He stayed away from his family, working late nights and even on festivals.
Paying the car’s EMI became difficult, but he never gave up and kept pushing forward.
More Than Just a Taxi Service – A Trusted Brand
The SMART Taxi was never just an ordinary taxi service. Instead, it became a high-quality, reliable transportation brand. Dhruvam himself drove the taxi to understand the market and customers’ needs better. Today, The SMART Taxi is no longer limited to just taxi services—it now offers affordable flight tickets, hotel bookings, and holiday packages.
Currently, The SMART Taxi operates in 42+ cities across India with a fleet of 1,000+ vehicles. More than 35 corporate companies and 10,000+ customers trust this service.
The Only Company That Has Never Canceled a Ride
For any entrepreneur, earning customer trust is the top priority. For The SMART Taxi, this became a core principle. In the last eight years, not a single ride has been canceled. The company has an average customer rating of 4.8/5, proving its excellence and reliability.
An Inspiration for Young Entrepreneurs
Dhruvam is not just a successful entrepreneur; he is also a role model for aspiring business leaders. He has conducted 70+ sessions in prestigious institutions like IIM and IIT, guiding 5,000+ students on entrepreneurship.
His journey is proof that “If you have the will, nothing is impossible.”
