Pavan Guntupalli, co-founder, Rapido, said, “We have seen tremendous success in every city where Rapido Autos is operational. Nation-wide, we have enabled auto captains to earn over Rs 2700 crores since inception and strive to put maximum earnings to those who provide us with the commute. Our SaaS platform transforms the traditional commission system for auto captains. This system guarantees that captains bear only a nominal access fee, rather than a commission per ride.”

According to Rapido, by directly receiving payments from customers, captains break free from commission constraints, maximizing their lifetime earnings. This fosters an inclusive platform benefiting both captains and customers alike, Rapido said.

Customers also enjoy competitive fares in the auto segment due to Software as a Service (SaaS) platform consolidating various commuting solutions into a single, user-friendly app, Rapido said.
