I had conceptualized Ridewise around 8 months back towards the end of the first lockdown and for obvious reasons. So elated, that it has now begun and is a formidable start-up in the making!
Saving the environment, saving restaurants, providing jobs, empowering small businesses, saving money and fuel, and ensuring a safer commute…just some of the things we intend to accomplish with this. For me, this is much more than just a business.
At the core, Ridewise is about rental of and deliveries via our own fleet of electric two-wheelers. Hence, creates an impact in areas that are of concern today.
- Firstly, it’s the need of the hour for our environment. Since it doesn’t pollute, it should be the preferred mode of transport. More so since two-wheelers are increasingly being used for online deliveries.
- Secondly, it will give jobs to a large youth population who want to take up the rather lucrative and flexible job of a delivery executive but they need to own a bike for that. Since most either do not have funds nor do banks fund them, they can now rent these bikes and get those jobs. Of course, we’ll be hiring delivery agents too.
- Thirdly, restaurants and food brands are at the mercy of large aggregators that either charge a hefty fee particularly for higher value orders or switch off service of certain brands as per their choice. Ridewise would be like their own fleet without having to own one for direct deliveries to their customers. It would help and power a huge number of home chefs as well.
- Fourthly, it’s way more cost-effective than guzzling fuel. These EVs cost a few paise per Km and the rates will only keep decreasing. Soon we will also have charging stations all around.
- Lastly, we would also have other models available on rent for a daily commute. People would be able to hire for themselves or their employees especially when shared commuting is avoidable these days.
So Let’s Ride… but RideWise!
With an amazing team at the helm, I’m excited to see where this brand heads in the future and I thank my team members and partners who have made this a reality.
