Rapido clocks nearly 74 million monthly users, races ahead of Uber and Ola

Bike-taxi and mobility platform Rapido recorded 73.96 million monthly active users (MAU) between January 1 and February 28, 2026, significantly ahead of 39.05 million for Uber and 28.15 million for Ola, according to data sourced from app intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

The data indicates Rapido has built a sizeable lead in user engagement across India’s mobility apps, nearly doubling Uber’s monthly user base and maintaining a wide gap over Ola.

A similar trend is visible in weekly usage metrics as well. Between January 19 and February 22, 2026, Rapido recorded 40.07 million weekly active users (WAU). In comparison, Uber logged 20.56 million, while Ola had 11.63 million weekly users during the same period.

Rapido’s growth comes as the company expands beyond its initial bike-taxi offering into auto and cab rides across several cities. The platform has focused heavily on short-distance urban mobility and competitive pricing, factors that appear to be driving higher user adoption.

Uber and Ola, which have long dominated India’s cab-hailing market, continue to operate across multiple ride categories.
