On 11th May every year, India celebrates National Technology Day to commemorate the country’s advancements in technology and its ever-evolving journey of innovation. The day carries a deep-rooted, historical significance as it shines a spotlight on science and technology’s role in combating climate change—a global challenge that calls for immediate and smart action.
The theme for National Technology Day 2025 is “Empowering a Sustainable Tomorrow Through Innovation”. It puts emphasis on the much-needed application of science and technology to enable cleaner, and more sustainable systems to be implemented across industries. And very few industries feel this need more than urban mobility. It’s an intersection of traffic congestion, high emission, and energy waste. It’s here that Routematic, India’s leading AI-powered corporate commute platform, is making transformative strides in new green transport services.
Paying Tribute to a Legacy of Innovation
National Technology Day was first observed in 1999 to commemorate the Pokhran nuclear tests of 1998, a pivotal moment that marked India’s emergence as a global technology leader. Over decades, the day has evolved to represent not only achievements in defense and space but also innovations in mobility, sustainability, and artificial intelligence.
Today, this legacy of innovation cannot be continued without focusing on the climate crisis. As India aims for net-zero goals and organisations push for ESG compliance, new green transport services are no longer optional—they’re the need of the hour.
Routematic: Aligning Innovation with Sustainability
At Routematic, we believe technology should solve real-world problems of real people. Since 2013, our focus has been on reimagining urban mobility—combining AI in transportation with sustainability. The idea was simple: To make corporate commute safer, greener and more efficient for corporate employees across India. When people spend less time on the road or being stuck in traffic, they are more likely to be productive and happier at work. Our platform now facilitates over 5 million trips monthly across 23 Indian cities, serving 300+ clients and impacting more than 300,000 employees every month.
$40 Million Series C Funding: Fueling the Next Chapter
For us at Routematic, this National Technology Day 2025 is doubly momentous. We’re proud to share a significant milestone—Routematic has secured $40 million in Series C funding, led by two global carbon action funds Fullerton Carbon Action Fund and Shift4Good.
This funding validates our unique business model of leveraging AI in transportation and strengthens our ability to expand sustainable mobility solutions at a scale. Huck Khim Tan (Deputy CIO and Head of Alternatives, Fullerton Fund Management) noted that Routematic is “solving critical challenges and helping accelerate decarbonization through reduction in number of daily trips and adoption of electric vehicles.”
“This partnership brings together leading global climate investors across Asia and Europe. Routematic is not just modernizing transport but also driving large-scale decarbonization in a space that desperately needs it.”— Vasudha Madhavan (Founder & CEO, Ostara Advisors) added.

AI at the Core of Smarter, Greener Corporate Commute
Our platform is built on a sophisticated AI-driven SaaS engine that powers:
- Dynamic routing
- Real-time dispatch and demand-supply matching
- Delay prediction and route optimization
- Vehicle utilization tracking
These systems are not just technical innovations—they also multiply impact. By improving vehicle deployment and reducing idle time, our AI cuts down fuel consumption, eases traffic congestion, and incentivizes EV integration.
Accelerating EV Adoption and Future Growth
With this new capital, we are scaling our operations to meet the surging demand for sustainable transport. By March 2026, we aim to:
- Operate 10,000+ vehicles across India’s top five metro cities
- Convert 30% of our fleet to electric vehicles
- Establish city-level Routematic Operations Command Centers for 24/7 visibility and control
We’re not just transforming corporate transportation logistics—we’re helping enterprises meet their ESG targets and redefine employee mobility from a cost center to a climate-positive initiative.
As Sebastien Guillaud (Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Shift4Good) emphasized:
“We’re backing Routematic because they’ve built what most players in this space only talk about—a truly intelligent, scalable platform.”
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate National Technology Day 2025, we remain committed to the ethos that technology, when applied responsibly and intelligently, can unlock extraordinary change. At Routematic, we’re using AI in transportation to address today’s environmental challenges while building the infrastructure for an era of new green transport services.
Together with our partners, customers, and users, we are empowering a sustainable tomorrow through innovation.
