From the brands

How the ride turns into clients and search

A passenger watches one silent loop, opens the site from the QR, and later types the brand into search. These are real testimonials from brands using our platform.

VerifyStackEnterprise background verification platform
“The people who buy background checks sit in airport cabs between meetings. One silent loop and a QR to verifystack.in, and they open the site before the terminal. The next morning the same names show up as branded searches. Those searches are the leads my team now works.”
DeepChqAI-powered search visibility platform
“We sell AI search visibility, so a logo on a screen was never going to win a client. The loop shows how a brand gets cited in AI answers, and the QR opens deepchq.com while the founder is still in the car. They read the product on the ride, then search DeepChq when they brief the next campaign. That is the client.”

Taxi advertising your customer watches for 20 to 45 minutes

Cab screens vs hoardings and digital billboards

Outdoor advertising reaches people passing by. A cab screen reaches one passenger for the length of a ride, and logs every play.

FAQs

In-cab advertising in India, explained

What is in-cab advertising?

Backseat Network runs silent digital screens in airport cabs and city vehicles. Passengers see your brand on the tablet behind the driver. It is a form of digital out-of-home advertising, sometimes called cab digital out-of-home or CADOOH.

Which Indian cities can I buy?

Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Bengaluru are live. Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune are onboarding, with more cities to follow. You pick the cab count and months in the console.

How much does a campaign cost?

Media is ₹4,000 per cab per month. GST at 18% is added on the invoice. You pay online by UPI, card or netbanking through Razorpay when you submit the campaign, and the GST invoice is emailed automatically.

How is a cab screen different from a hoarding or a digital billboard?

A hoarding or billboard is seen in passing. A cab screen sits at arm's length from one passenger for 20 to 45 minutes, every play is counted and tracked by GPS, and it carries a QR code the passenger can scan.

Is there a minimum booking?

You can book from a single cab for one month (₹4,000 plus GST). Add cabs and months for more reach; the pricing calculator shows the total as you go.

What creative do I need?

A silent landscape MP4 of about 15 seconds, or a JPG, PNG or WebP still, up to 40 MB, with a QR code on the creative. Vira can make it from your website. Every file is reviewed before it goes live.

How do I know my ad played?

Each tablet reports every play of your creative, and your console shows the running totals and a live GPS map of the cabs carrying your campaign. QR scans show up in your own analytics through a tagged link.

How do cab drivers join the network?

Drivers apply with their RC, driving licence and vehicle photos. Our team verifies the papers, a GPS installer mounts the company tablet, and campaigns then play silently for passengers.

Can I refer a brand and earn from the sale?

Yes. Refer a brand, an agency or a local business, whether or not you already advertise with us. If they book, you earn 10% of the total sales on that deal. Send the introduction from the Refer and earn section on the homepage.
