JioMart CEO, others invest Rs 1.5 crore in Hyderabad-based student mobility startup ZeroMobIt

Hyderabad-based student mobility startup ZeroMobIt has raised Rs 1.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by prominent angel investors like Sandeep Varaganti (CEO, JioMart), Dr. Ashok Agrawal (SVP, Axis Bank), and HNIs.

Founded in April 2024, ZeroMoblt is a student-centric startup focused on taking student problems to zero, starting with compliant, safe, and reliable mobility solutions. It integrates AI-native architecture, structured operations, and ecosystem design to modernise student transportation systems.

ZeroMobIt claims to have partnered with 15+ institutions and has established itself as a compliance-first student mobility model. The startup has so far completed 3.4 lakh student trips across 147 pincodes in Hyderabad, and is currently in the onboarding phase of several institutions in the city.

With a 3,000+ fleet supply with 100% compliance, it's integrated app ecosystem combines mobility logistics, safety, discovery, tracking and subscription features.

The startup will use the raised funding to accelerate its AI-native technology development, operational expansion, infrastructure roadmap, bolster its core architecture and orchestration systems for compliant and scalable student mobility by developing an AI-native platform.

Additionally, it will use the funds to build decentralised intelligence layers with Edge AI to enhance real-time safety, route optimisation, and operational resilience.

Vijay Ganagam, CEO and Co-Founder of ZeroMobIt, said, “Student mobility has remained structurally unchanged for decades. We are building an AI-native, compliance-first infrastructure layer that aligns safety, scalability, and ecosystem trust. This funding allows us to accelerate toward building infrastructure that cities and institutions can rely on.”

Alfred Lazarus, Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) and Co-Founder of ZeroMobIt, said, “The future of mobility infrastructure will not just be digital — it will be intelligent, decentralized, orchestrated and interoperable. We are on the precipice of Data Sovereign Trust Tech Ecosystems.”

ZeroMobIt is also working towards expanding to major educational hubs across India, AI-driven route optimization and compliance automation, deployment of Edge AI for enhanced safety and decentralised monitoring and development toward interoperable Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for student life.

It will also aim to accelerate campus partnerships, fleet expansion, and compliance infrastructure across Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Vijayawada, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai, and Mumbai.
