We made the list! 

We are thrilled to announce that Zūm has been named to the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50, an annual list honoring 50 game-changing private companies using breakthrough technology to transform industries. 

This is the second year in a row (and third year overall) that Zum has been recognized by CNBC.

“Zum is proud to lead this new era of student transportation with increased safety and reliability, and improved grid resilience for families and communities across the country,” said Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO at Zum. “We are honored to once again be part of CNBC’s Disruptor 50 alongside other incredible companies that are making an impact through innovation.”

Zum unifies parents, students, school administrators and drivers on a single personalized technology platform, enabling never-before achieved levels of visibility and data-backed accountability. In 2024, Zum launched the nation’s first fully electrified school bus fleet in Oakland, California, with groundbreaking vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology that enables buses to return energy to the local grid at scale and improve grid resilience.
