Acquisition project | Uber

Product - UberMoto

Elevator Pitch - UberMoto provides quick, reliable and affordable rides on a motorbike at the push of a button. Whether you are running late for your important meeting or just need affordable daily commute option, UberMoto can be your best choice !

Understanding the product -

Core Value Proposition

  1. Helps beat the traffic
  2. Affordable, fits in daily budget
  3. Highly reliable


Market -

Current market size is about ~$600M ARR in GOV where three players exist- Rapido which is the market leader (and hyper local, focused on bike taxi), Uber (global company) and OLA (which has multiple business units like OLA EV)


Rapido has the first mover advantage in this category and are highly aggressive in terms of marketing as well as disrupting govt compliance. Over the last few months, turned EBITDA positive while having stringent P&L

Uber is #2 player that tries to be operationally breakeven, yet capture market share of Rapido through stringent marketplace operations. Also, has a disadvantage of being perceived as expensive brand due to cab focussed approach

Ola is #3 player who is trying to capture market share by burning money operationally as well using their EV fleet.

Notes


​




TAM - 150M

Typical age group 18-30, early jobbers, students, Tier-1 and Tier 2 cities


SAM - 70M (Cities where UberMoto is operational)


SOM - 30M (audience which does not have hesistance for bike taxi/have need to escape other means)

Focus -

Current channels of acquisition : Organic , Referral, Cross selling to larger Uber Audience, Partnership


Top 2 channels -

  1. Organic through word of mouth of service quality and need
  2. Cross selling to Uber Audience

Keywords : Bike Taxi, Rapido, Uber Bike, Taxi, 2 wheeler taxi, motorcycle taxi, Uber, OLA, OLA Bike, OLA Bike Taxi , commute, solo travel, office travel, metro, bus, public transport


Gaps in SEO - Rapido's bidding is much higher, "Moto" is something that people are not aware of and hence pops up less, Use keywords like student commute, 24X7 Bike Taxi


Content -

  1. Targetting GenZ is important for the category, hence fine tuning content around young audience.
  2. Instead of once a year brand marketing (with a big shot celeb) always on content marketing with relevant content creators

Tools - Meta, YouTube, Adwords, PMAX



Hook - Ended a cool bike ride (on a super bike/super driver/some amazing incident)

Creator - User (Amplified by brand)

Distribution Channel - Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, WOM



Not relevant at a category level, since LTV of platform has to be determined


CAC to LTV at a platform level ~$228
