The international passenger transport service inDrive (formerly inDriver), founded by Arsen Tomsky in Yakutsk in 2013, transferred ownership from a Russian legal entity to a Kazakhstani structure in the context of sanctions, writes RBC.
The new team, which will be led by the former COO of the company, plans a relaunch under the INDELS brand.
Under the new brand, the company will provide urban and international travel services in Russia and the CIS and is now actively looking for employees.
- In August 2022, the company’s main Russian legal entity, the Software Development Center, was transferred to Softforming LLC, which was created a few months earlier.
- Previously, the Cypriot Suol Innovations Ltd, owner of the international business inDrive, acted as the main structure of the Russian company.
- At the beginning of February 2023, Softforming became the property of Indels Limited Liability Partnership registered in Kazakhstan. From the extract from the register of legal entities in Kazakhstan, it follows that Indels is owned by the former operational director of InDrive in Russia Marina Arzhakova and three other people.
From the description of the vacancy for a product designer at the Software Development Center in the job search service Karyerist.ru, it follows that this company will work under the INDELS brand.
In May 2022 it became known that inDrive moved a part of the employees from Russia to Kazakhstan “as part of a project to develop regional centers.”
inDrive is headquartered in California. The startup provides services in 700 cities in 47 countries. Russia’s share in the total volume of trips for the spring of 2022 reached 7%.
