Kakao Mobility

Kakao Mobility is South Korea's leading mobility platform company, founded in 2017 as a subsidiary of Kakao Corp. Operating primarily through the Kakao T super-app, the company provides a comprehensive suite of transportation services including taxi-hailing, designated driver booking, intercity bus and express services, parking solutions, navigation, shared bikes, and last-mile delivery. With over 30 million registered users, Kakao Mobility leverages proprietary mobility data from millions of daily trips to optimize dispatch, routing, and logistics. The company has expanded internationally with k.ride, a global taxi-hailing app supporting ride booking without a Kakao ID, targeting foreign visitors and travelers. Kakao Mobility is also exploring next-generation mobility, having partnered with Archer Aviation for eVTOL air taxi services in South Korea. The company uses on-device AI (including Gemini Nano) to reduce operational costs and improve service quality.
