- ByStartupStory | August 17, 2023
Rapido, the auto services aggregator platform, is set to enhance the benefits of its ongoing Auto Dost initiative by introducing various new advantages, including unlimited cancellations, customer cancellation incentives, and more. Looking ahead, Rapido Auto plans to implement transformative measures such as micro-loans, travel time charge compensation, and family health insurance in the coming months.
The focus of these initiatives is to provide substantial support to over 5 lakh auto captains currently operating in Bengaluru. By offering greater flexibility, these measures enable auto captains to navigate the dynamic ride-hailing landscape more effectively, as highlighted in the company’s press release. Pavan Guntupalli, Co-founder of Rapido, emphasized the significance of these changes, stating, “The introduction of a nominal pick-up charge, unlimited cancellations, the lowest commission structure, a customer cancellation incentive, and our transparent fare price policy are not just improvements; they’re steps towards transforming the way Bengaluru’s auto-rickshaw community operates.”
Furthermore, these initiatives bring mutual benefits, allowing auto captains to generate increased income and enjoy a more predictable earnings structure. This improved financial stability empowers them to plan for their future more effectively. As part of the ongoing initiative, which prioritizes the satisfaction of both auto captains and passengers, Rapido Auto has introduced measures such as a nominal pick-up charge of Rs. 10 for each order, commissions up to Rs. 15 to ensure partners retain a substantial portion of their earnings, a customer cancellation incentive of Rs. 10, and the flexibility for auto captains to cancel orders at their convenience on a daily basis.
The company underscores that these strategic steps are designed to empower Bengaluru’s auto captains. The introduction of unlimited cancellations addresses a persistent concern, making rides more accessible and adaptable for passengers. With these initiatives, Rapido Auto is dedicated to enhancing the overall experience for both auto captains and riders.
