About Company

Zingbus is a tech‑enabled inter‑city mobility company founded in 2019. Operating 250+ daily departures that touch 350+ towns nationwide, Zingbus prides itself on a lean, asset‑light model and five‑star passenger experience.

But with growth came a surge in driver tolls, emergency repairs, and depot petty‑cash that traditional advances simply couldn’t handle.

In search of a smarter, scalable, and digitised alternative, Zingbus implemented CashBook UPI Wallets across their operations. Every route/depot supervisor was equipped with a UPI-enabled wallet from CashBook, preloaded by the central finance team based on route-level needs.
