Announcing the partnership, Mr. Amit Agrawal, Director of Khalti said,
We are glad to be partnering with an innovative bike ride-sharing app like Tootle and provide users to top-up their Tootle balance easily using Khalti. Mobility and payments are common problems in Nepal. This collaboration is focused on jointly solving these problems.
Further, if we work together, it will bring synergy to both the companies. This partnership will spread vibes that young entrepreneurs and startups should come together and work together to build a world-class ecosystem.
We are confident that our users will be delighted with their Tootle experience. We are always committed to providing more value to our users, and will be adding many more features and services on Khalti very soon.
Similarly, Sixit Bhatta, Co-Founder/CEO of Tootle mentioned,
In Nepal, just a few years ago, it was uncommon to get access to transportation or payment via digital platforms. But the landscape of smart mobile technology has been rising and apps like Tootle and Khalti are ready to soar high. The user growth and enthusiasm has also been astounding. Furthermore, I believe brands like Tootle and Khalti synergize each other because of a variety of things in common, for instance, primary target market being one. This partnership with Khalti gives both the brands a terrific opportunity to move fast and stand out in the mobile business space.
As part of the launch offer, Tootle users can now top up their Tootle balance using Khalti and get 5% extra on each Tootle top up. Similarly, Khalti is also providing 5% Khalti cashback on Tootle top-ups.
