Introduction
Ever seen a taxi wrapped in an ad for a local start-up that shuts down before you reach home? That’s Cash Ur Drive Marketing’s playground. They dominate vehicle wrap and transit media advertising, claiming to be India’s largest mobile billboard service. They’ve added EV branding, outdoor hoardings, and even digital wall paintings to the mix. The IPO is hotly debated – QIBs love it (3.51x subscribed), but NIIs seem to be napping (0.10x). Is this a multi-bagger or just another roadside poster?
