Rapido hosts grand “Cab Mahotsavam” felicitating their 1500+ dedicated cab captains in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, February 22 2024: Rapido, India's leading ride-hailing platform, organised the grand ‘Cab Mahotsavam’ in Hyderabad, to honor its captains who make city commute more easy and convenient. The event was honored by the presence of prominent personalities such as Gaddam Atmacharan Reddy, Ex-Member of Parliament and C. Ramesh, Joint Transport Commissioner, Hyderabad. More than 1500+ captains were present to celebrate the occasion and receive gifts of appreciation like washing machines, televisions and cameras.
 
Rapido entered the cab business in Hyderabad in May 2023 and within less than a year, has registered more than 50,000+ cab captains and successfully completed 4 lakh+ rides since its inception. Over 3 lakh+ captains across India have been onboarded onto SaaS-based platform for cabs. The SaaS based model allows captains to retain 100% of their earnings and only pay a minimal subscription fee starting from Rs.500 after a captain earns Rs.10,000 on the platform. This has led to an increased number of cab drivers embracing the convenience and flexibility of online operations, thereby enhancing their earning potential and improving overall service accessibility for commuters.

As a pioneer in adopting the Zero-Commission model, Rapido fosters a supportive and empowering environment for its captains enabling them to earn more and maximise their earnings. Besides facilitating affordable commute options, the expansion of Rapido has significantly helped in generating employment opportunities in Hyderabad, contributing to the overall economy of the city.
 
Engaging with the captains, Pavan Guntupalli, Rapido's co-founder, encouraged and rewarded them for their invaluable efforts in helping Rapido achieve its vision and keep the city moving. Expressing deep appreciation for its Captains, Pavan Guntupalli, Co-Founder of Rapido, stated, “Cab Mahotsavam is a small token of our immense gratitude for our captains. Their tireless efforts are the backbone of our service, making urban travel dependable and effortlessly connecting every nook and corner of Hyderabad for our valued customers. Our captains, who start their day early in the morning play a crucial role in helping the commuters reach their respective destinations on time. Navigating through the congested roads of Hyderabad, especially during times of peak hours requires patience and alertness. We are deeply grateful for their tireless efforts in ensuring safe and reliable transportation, despite the challenges they face on a regular basis.”
