Arsen Tomsky — tomsky with roots in the Russia
Arsen Tomsky is a Russian entrepreneur born in Yakutsk (Republic of Sakha, Russia) who founded InDriver — a ride-hailing platform that originated in the extreme cold of Siberia and grew into a global competitor to Uber operating in 700+ cities across 47 countries. InDriver's unique model lets passengers name their own price.
Tracing the roots — Yakutsk (Russia)
Born in Yakutsk — one of the world's coldest cities, the capital of Russia's vast Sakha Republic — Tomsky launched InDriver in 2012 after local taxi prices spiked during a cold snap and he posted a Facebook message asking other drivers to take him for a fair price. From that Siberian winter moment, he built a global technology company.
