Meru Cabs is a taxi aggregator company based in Mumbai, India.[2] It provides cab booking facilities through calls, website or through their mobile application and payment through cash, card or wallet christened Cab Wallet.[3] Meru Cabs integrated their cab service with Google Now which will send passengers remainders for cab pickups, alerting them if they wish to book a cab based on their location and other information through Now Cards within the Google app.[4]
