As BluSmart, once hailed as a cleaner, premium alternative to ride-hailing giants like Ola and Uber, abruptly suspended ride bookings in key cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the founder of Bengaluru-based Shoffr, Kislay Verma, was quick to seize the opportunity.
Taking to X, the founder of @shoffr_in responded to several users lamenting the sudden unavailability of BluSmart’s trusted service and used the moment to offer his company as a replacement.
One post that caught particular attention was from a user who shared how deeply BluSmart had become part of his family’s life:
“My elderly parents in Delhi have an unwavering faith in BluSmart. They refuse to keep a car and driver, saying 'BluSmart hai na.' Whenever they have to go somewhere and I offer to arrange a premium car service I trust, they respond, 'BluSmart hai na. Rental kar lenge.'”
He added, “I don't know exactly what went wrong, but I know they'll be heartbroken when I tell them 'Ab BluSmart nahi hai.'”
