Yandex Go

What Yandex Go does

Yandex Go is the multi-service urban mobility and delivery super-app operated by OOO Yandex.Taksi (a subsidiary of publicly traded Yandex, MCX: YDEX), founded in 2011 and headquartered in Moscow. The platform unifies consumer and business offerings across taxi (Economy through Ultima premium), food delivery (Yandex Eats), quick-commerce grocery (Yandex Lavka, with a proprietary factory producing 1.2 million ready-meal portions per month), car sharing (Yandex Drive), electric scooter rentals, package/cargo delivery (Yandex Delivery), e-commerce (Yandex Market), fuel payments (Zapravki), and corporate travel (Komandirovki). Underlying technology is built on the parent Yandex stack — Maps, Navigator, and AI/ML infrastructure for routing, demand prediction, dispatch optimization, and AI-driven production planning at the Lavka factory.

The business operates a two-sided marketplace monetized primarily through transaction fees on consumer rides, food orders, and deliveries, plus usage-based pricing for car sharing and subscription/balance-replenishment accounts for corporate clients (no per-transaction commission, only VAT). Its B2B arm, Yandex Go for Business, serves over 700 Russian cities plus localized operations in Uzbekistan (82,000+ corporate clients), Kyrgyzstan (82,000+), Serbia (87,000+), Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, generating documented 15-30% transport cost reductions and 40x faster expense processing for enterprise customers such as S7 Group, Technonikol, Sportmaster, Europlan, FMGC, NOYTECH, and BRSKO MALL.

Geographic distribution is concentrated in Russia and CIS, with recent extensions into Serbia (full Belgrade taxi fleet onboarded February 2026) and a corporate transfer service spanning 100+ countries. Distribution leverages the dominant Yandex brand across mobile app stores, the Yandex ecosystem (Search, Maps, 360, Market, Business), partner referral networks, government tender participation under 44-FZ/223-FZ frameworks, and a 15+ partner alliance program offering bundled discounts to corporate clients.
