Rapido Transforms India's Workforce with Gig Mobility
Rapido is a company that helps people in India earn money by using their own vehicles to give rides.
It's like a big network that connects people who need rides with those who have cars or bikes.
Rapido has grown a lot and now works in over 400 cities.
It has created more than 9 million jobs.
Every month, about 3 lakh new people join Rapido to become captains, which is what they call the drivers.
The company is especially popular in smaller cities where there aren't as many jobs.
Rapido also makes sure that the drivers are safe and have steady work by checking their backgrounds, giving them training, and using technology to track their rides.
This helps people earn money in a flexible way without having to move to big cities for work.
Rapido has created over 9 million livelihood opportunities by enabling people to earn through personal vehicles.
The platform operates in more than 400 cities, with significant growth in Tier II and Tier III cities.
Rapido adds around 3 lakh new captains each month, supporting over 30 lakh captains currently.
