Daily Commute a Big Challenge
Daily commute is a big challenge especially in metro cities across India, where employees spend hours on the road which are highly unproductive if they are ‘self-driving’. This problem was solved when companies started providing daily cab services to their employees – a common culture for most of the IT/ITES companies in the urban India.
However, the traditional vendor driven employee commute model has been fraught with inefficiencies and immense paper-work; which has resulted in tech-driven start-ups which are solving for in efficiencies in the employee transportation by managing it through technology.
