In a strategic move blending social responsibility with business innovation, Rapido, India’s premier commute app, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with the Meghalaya State Election Commission. This partnership heralds the launch of “Sawaari Zimmedari Ki,” an initiative poised to revolutionize voter transportation dynamics during the upcoming General Elections 2024, specifically targeting the bustling city of Shillong.
Scheduled for April 19th, Rapido’s bold venture entails offering complimentary bike taxi rides to voters across Shillong, a move aimed at alleviating transportation barriers and bolstering voter turnout. By leveraging the promotional code “VOTENOW” within the Rapido app, citizens can seamlessly access these free rides, ensuring unfettered access to polling stations on Election Day.
Pavan Guntupalli, Co-founder of Rapido, underscored the company’s dual commitment to civic engagement and technological innovation, stating, “Our initiative aims to redefine the voter transport landscape by providing not just rides, but a pathway to democratic participation.”
