MoveInSync was founded in 2009 by Deepesh Agarwal, Akash Maheshwari and Anuvrata Arora, all of whom are graduates from IIT BHU. It was incubated by Indian School of Business, Hyderabad.

The company started as a carpool service but later pivoted into a full-fledged transportation management platform.

The startup currently provides a solution called Employee Transportation Solution (ETS) for companies to manage their cab fleet. The system works by installing a touch screen device inside the cab. This device then syncs with a web server and provides real time data on routing, usage records, tracking and reporting. The service uses a PIN-based authentication system to verify and track employees.
