Marketplace/Mobility Business Consultant Needed
Budget: ₹750 – ₹1,250 INR
I’m getting ready to launch Yatra-Saathi, a structured group-travel marketplace that makes booking Tempo Travellers in India simple, transparent and fair for both riders and verified vehicle owners. The core product is live in staging; odometer-based trip verification, transparent per-kilometre pricing and owner KYC are already baked in. What I need now is an experienced consultant who has scaled two-sided mobility or travel platforms and can pressure-test every component of the business model before we open in our first city.
Scope of work
Over a focused engagement, you will help me validate the current assumptions, tighten the economics and design supply-side processes that stay robust as we expand city by city.
Key priorities
• Business-model validation – stress-test revenue streams, commission structure and per-trip unit economics; deliver an adjustable model in Excel or Sheets.
• Vendor onboarding strategy – map an owner journey that minimises friction yet keeps KYC, vehicle docs and insurance checks watertight; propose SOPs and the tech stack that supports them.
• Double-booking prevention – evaluate options such as real-time availability tracking, automated sync with owner calendars or fallback manual verification, then recommend the best mix for launch.
• Scalable supply operations – outline the headcount, processes and SLAs required as we move from one city to the next.
• Growth roadmap – create a phased city-rollout plan with acquisition targets, marketing channels and key activation metrics.
Deliverables & acceptance
1. A short diagnostic report (slides or doc) highlighting gaps in the current model.
2. A financial workbook with scenario toggles covering pricing, commission tiers and incentives.
3. An operations playbook detailing onboarding flows, verification checklists and anti-double-booking logic.
4. A 6-month expansion roadmap with milestone KPIs.
We’ll kick off with a deep-dive call, share existing decks, Airtable tables and Mixpanel data, then iterate weekly. If you’ve guided marketplaces like Ola, BlaBlaCar, Getaround or similar through early-stage scale, I’d love to tap into that expertise and move fast toward a confident public launch.
