Motorento: Building the Backbone of Last-Mile Mobility

Motorento is a logistics-tech company building the backbone of last-mile mobility in the Philippines. Instead of competing with delivery platforms, Motorento provides the infrastructure they rely on: a full-time, fully trained fleet of riders powered by financing, technology, and operational support. By enabling motorcycle access for underserved workers and connecting them to high-volume demand from e-commerce, food delivery, and ride-hailing platforms, Motorento improves delivery speed, fulfillment rates, and unit economics for businesses while creating stable income opportunities for first-time riders. With more than 700 riders and over 1.5 million completed deliveries, Motorento is proving that when last-mile logistics works for everyone, the entire ecosystem accelerates. With that, let’s dive deeper into its mission and innovation with its CEO and Founder, Vaibhav Srivastava.

The Beginning: A Delivery That Took Too Long

The story of Motorento didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with a simple delivery: a ₱500 pizza that cost nearly ₱200 to arrive, and still showed up almost an hour late. For Vaibhav and Adi, who had spent years working in last-mile logistics across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, India, and eventually the Philippines, that moment wasn’t just a bad customer experience. It was a micro-snapshot of a broken system.

The demand for motorcycles in the Philippines was exploding; driven by ride-hailing, food delivery, and e-commerce. Yet only 15 out of every 100 Filipinos owned a motorcycle. Millions wanted work. Customers wanted speed. Businesses wanted fulfillment. But the market offered inefficiency instead. So Motorento was born from a simple but audacious thought: What if last-mile logistics could finally work for everyone?

Becoming the Highway, Not Just Another Rider

To understand Motorento’s ambition, imagine the logistics landscape as an expressway. Most fleet-tech startups are just cars running on the road: fast, smart, competitive. Motorento is building the road itself.

Instead of competing with delivery platforms, Motorento provides the core logistics infrastructure they rely on: a fully equipped, fully trained fleet of full-time riders that any company can deploy. From e-commerce to food delivery to ride-hailing, anyone can plug into Motorento’s backbone and get unmatched efficiency and reliability. The goal isn’t to dominate the industry, but to enable it. When the ecosystem grows, everyone grows with it.

Changing Lives While Moving People & Packages

Motorento’s success isn’t measured only in kilometers completed, but in careers transformed.

Most of its 700+ riders are first-time earners in the formal economy: individuals with no previous logistics experience who are now earning 20–25k per month through structured training, digital tools, and daily guaranteed work. Many were unemployed or doing unpredictable side hustles before joining Motorento. Now, they have insurance, support systems, and upward mobility.

On the business side, Motorento has already completed over 1.5 million deliveries in just 18 months, covering 500–600k kilometers monthly with an industry-defying 99.5% fulfillment rate. Customers don’t wonder whether a rider will arrive, they know one will.

A Vision as Big as the Streets of the Developing World

Motorento’s roadmap stretches far beyond Metro Manila. The country alone needs an estimated 600,000 more riders in the next five years, representing a $4.2 billion opportunity across people and parcel delivery. And the same gap exists across developing economies: Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America. The barriers are the same everywhere: limited vehicle access, financial exclusion, and fragmented last-mile infrastructure.

Motorento isn’t designed for cities with perfect public transit and saturated motorbike markets. It’s designed for places that grow fast, hustle hard, and leapfrog traditional systems. It is designed for the developing world.
