Thursday brings cheers for taxi drivers nationwide with the rollout of ‘Bharat Taxi’, India’s inaugural cooperative ride-sharing app. Ahead of the ceremony, Amit Shah took to X to celebrate: drivers will not only pocket bigger earnings but also hold ownership stakes with respect.
Shah’s post captured the essence: ‘Bharat Taxi proves cooperative power—small stakes leading to big leaps. Crucial milestone for drivers as their owned taxi service launches in Delhi. More income, true ownership. Eager to attend.’
Echoing PM Modi’s cooperative prosperity vision, this initiative bolsters inclusive mobility. Drivers, termed Sarathis, drive the model from ownership to profits, escaping predatory platforms.
The event spotlights excellence: six star Sarathis get shares, Rs 5 lakh accident insurance, and matching family health policies from the minister—cementing driver-centric security.
MoUs with partners will supercharge digital tools, safety protocols, and seamless services. Zero-commission, no-surge pricing under 2002 Act registration ensures pure profit pass-through, rivaling foreign aggregators.
Comprehensive perks like health covers, retirement funds, aid systems, and seven Delhi centers prioritize safety. Quick emergencies, verified logs, non-exclusive work options abound. ‘Bike Didi’ has rallied 150+ women into the fold.
From startup to world-leader, Bharat Taxi now serves 400,000 drivers and 1 million riders, disbursing Rs 10 crore directly. It redefines ride-hailing with fairness, scale, and empowerment at its core.
