What Uklon does
Uklon is Ukraine's largest ride-hailing platform, operating as a 97%-owned subsidiary of Kyivstar Group (VEON, NASDAQ: KYIV) since April 2025, when Kyivstar acquired the company for USD 155.2 million. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Kyiv, Uklon connects more than 5.1 million active users (3.8M MAU as of March 2026) with over 100,000 driver-partners across 27 Ukrainian cities plus Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The core product is a mobile-first (iOS/Android) ride-hailing app that has evolved into a multi-service digital mobility ecosystem encompassing passenger rides, same-day package delivery (Uklon Delivery), bus ticket booking (Uklon Travel), an in-app e-commerce marketplace (Uklon Store), programmatic advertising (Uklon Ads), corporate transport (Uklon Business), accessibility services (Uklon Inclusive), roadside assistance (Uklon Help), a fleet partner program, and a robotaxi/autonomous vehicle pilot at Boryspil International Airport. The platform is also expanding into micromobility via the pending acquisition of e-scooter operator E-wings (~$2.2M, ~3,000 scooters, 11 cities).
The technology stack is a mobile app ecosystem using real-time matching, dynamic pricing with rider-controlled fare adjustment, route optimization, and integrated payments. Newer technical layers include a multimodal AI pipeline combining LiDAR, cameras and sensors for the Boryspil AV pilot with remote human operators, and programmatic DOOH advertising on vehicle-mounted LED screens via partnerships with Adtelligent and Advision. Following Kyivstar's acquisition, Uklon benefits from zero-rated mobile data for Kyivstar's 22M+ subscribers, providing a structural distribution advantage.
Uklon monetizes primarily through commissions on ride-hailing transactions, supplemented by delivery fees, marketplace commissions (initial vertical: flowers via third-party florists integrated through GetOrder and Flora24), bus ticket commissions, programmatic advertising on car LED screens and in-app inventory, and corporate/B2B transportation contracts. Loyalty programs (Uklon Rider Mediator Points, DriverUP) and a Tips-by-Default feature (launched October 2025) support rider retention and driver-side economics. Q1 2026 revenue run rate exceeds USD 100 million, with tax payments of UAH 494M in H1 2025 and over UAH 680M in FY2024 indicating material scale and ongoing rapid growth.

Uklon competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Bolt: Bolt is the most direct competitor to Uklon in Ukraine and broader CEE, offering ride-hailing, food delivery, and scooters through a single app. It competes head-to-head for drivers and riders in Uklon's core Ukrainian cities.
- inDrive: International ride-hailing and urban services platform with strong presence across CIS, Eastern Europe, and emerging markets. Competes with Uklon directly in overlapping driver and rider pools in Ukraine and the CIS region.
- Yango (Yandex): Yango is the ride-hailing and mobility brand of Yandex, with deep reach across CIS markets. Geographically and operationally comparable to Uklon's expansion thesis in Uzbekistan and the broader post-Soviet region.
- Careem: Super-app ride-hailing, delivery, and payments platform operating across MENA and Pakistan. Closely comparable to Uklon's multi-vertical mobility-plus-commerce strategy in emerging markets.
Broad incumbents
- Uber: Global ride-hailing and delivery leader; not dominant in Ukraine but competes in the same product category (app-based on-demand rides) and serves as the benchmark for platform economics and AV/robotaxi strategy.
- Lyft: Major North American ride-hailing platform competing in the same product category (app-based passenger matching, dynamic pricing, multimodal expansion). Useful comparable for Uklon's diversification into delivery and AV/robotaxi strategy.
- DiDi: Global ride-hailing leader with deep international expansion experience and active AV/robotaxi development. Comparable on multi-market expansion playbook and on AV operating partnerships relevant to Uklon's Boryspil pilot.
Emerging players
- Onde: White-label taxi and ride-hailing dispatch platform provider. Adjacent comparable because of Uklon's technology-platform positioning and its potential to extend into B2B dispatch services across smaller markets.
- Gett: Corporate-focused ground transportation and ride-hailing platform with comparable B2B mobility offering and overlap with Uklon's Uklon Business corporate rides vertical.
Regional players
- 99 (formerly 99Taxis): Brazil's leading ride-hailing app with strong local brand. Comparable on the same product category (app-based private ride-hailing) but serving a different geography and not directly competing with Uklon today.
