Rapido Applauds Karnataka Government's Decision To Withdraw Policy On Electric Bike Taxis

* Company offers to partner closely with the Karnataka state government to develop a robust framework for bike taxis in the state

Rapido, a leading bike taxi platform, extends its warm appreciation to the Government of Karnataka for its recent decision to withdraw the electric bike taxi policy, notified in 2021. This significant move reflects the government's commitment to fostering a conducive environment for innovation and growth within the ride-hailing sector.

However, there is confusion surrounding the government's withdrawal of the electric bike taxi scheme as well as inaccurate information circulating on social media platforms. The Company pointed out that the recent order issued by the State Government of Karanataka nowhere mentions banning Rapido or any other aggregator operating under the protection of the High Court order.

We clarify that the Electric Bike Taxi Scheme notified in 2021 and now withdrawn in 2024 only pertains to grant of license for operating Electric Bike Taxis, this fact is self-evident under Clause 1(4) which specifically mention that this scheme shall only apply for Battery operated electric motorcycle or electric bike.

Rapido would like to shed light on the legal status of its operations and other similarly placed aggregators operating two-wheelers as bike taxis in the State of Karnataka. The issue of operation on bike taxis has been pending with the Hon'ble High Court since 2021.

The High Court had passed an interim protective order in favour of Rapido back in 2021 observed as follows-

“Petitioner (Rapido) submitted application for grant of bike Aggregator’s Licence to the Commissioner of Transport and it was rejected while issuing an endorsement that petitioners are required to file application for grant of Aggregator’s Licence before authority as specified in the Karnataka Electricity Bike Taxi Scheme 2021. Grievance of the petitioner in the application is for issuance of grant of bike Aggregator’s Licence not under the Electricity Bike Taxi Scheme. Therefore, there is non- application of mind in issuing the endorsement, since, reference is to the Karnataka Electricity Bike Taxi Scheme, 2020-21. On the other hand, petitioner’s grievance is for issuance of licence to general bike taxi’” and the High Court basis these specific observations directed the State Government of Karnataka not to take any coercive steps against the aggregator or its riders operating in the State of Karnataka. This protective interim order remains subsisting till date.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) on 22nd January also recently issued an advisory clarifying that motorcycles fall within the definition of contract carriages as per section 2(7) of the Motor vehicles (MV) Act, 1988.

Pavan Guntupalli, co-founder of Rapido, stated, "We want to assure our customers and captains that Rapido will continue to operate seamlessly within Karnataka. Rapido is upholding the interim order from the Hon’ble High Court, which recognizes the legality of Rapido's operations, reinforces our resolve to continue serving the people of Karnataka. With over 1,000,000 bike taxi rides happening in Bengaluru alone, it's evident that bike taxis play a crucial role in Karnataka's transportation ecosystem. This data highlights the significant demand and reliance placed on bike taxis for convenient and efficient mobility solutions across the state. Rapido expresses confidence that the Transport Department of the Government of Karnataka will adopt a more comprehensive approach, in line with the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act and the recent advisory issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) related to grant of contract carriage permit to two wheelers. We firmly believe that the revised approach will facilitate the grant of contract carriage permits to two-wheelers and bike taxis, aligning Karnataka with states that have successfully implemented similar models. This move is not only crucial for the growth of the sector but also ensures compliance with the existing provisions of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and Motor Vehicle Rules. "

It is worth mentioning that the recent notification issued by the government nowhere mentions banning Rapido or any other aggregator operating under the protection of the High Court order.

Rapido expresses confidence that the Transport Department of the Government of Karnataka will adopt a more comprehensive approach, in line with the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act and the recent advisory issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) related to grant of contract carriage permit to two wheelers. We firmly believe that the revised approach will facilitate the grant of contract carriage permits to two-wheelers and bike taxis, aligning Karnataka with states that have successfully implemented similar models. This move is not only crucial for the growth of the sector but also ensures compliance with the existing provisions of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and Motor Vehicle Rules.

Rapido commends the Government of Karnataka for its commitment to taking all necessary measures to safeguard the livelihoods of lakhs of gig workers in the state. The company believes that a collaborative effort between the government and industry stakeholders can lead to the development of a robust regulatory framework that addresses the unique dynamics of the ride-hailing sector.

Design Leaders Launch TRIAD To Promote Indian Ethos In Design

* A not-for-profit organisation to celebrate, preserve, promote and evolve Indian ethos in Design

* Seeks to champion indigenous art, craft, and design, to position India as a global design hub

TRIAD (Trans Regional Indian Association of Design) was launched at Designing Tomorrow, a groundbreaking design event that took place on March 9, 2024, at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) Kancheepuram, Chennai, an institute of national importance that is pioneering design-centric education through the School of Interdisciplinary Design and Innovation. TRIAD, a visionary organization, is dedicated to reshaping the design landscape of the country by recognizing that design is not just a profession but a catalyst for a brighter future and the emergence of an Indian design narrative in line with the aspiration of Viksit Bharat. The event was attended by artists, corporates, designers, researchers, students, and teachers from the design world. Their goal is to create the next generation of individuals who focus on making India the Design Hub for products.

TRIAD is a convergence of creative minds, educators, and industry professionals dedicated to shaping the future of Indian design. This event welcomes participation from all stakeholders passionate about driving India's design agenda forward. Mr. Sathiyaseelan G, Vice President, Styling at Ashok Leyland and Founding team member at TRIAD expressing enthusiasm about the launch, stated, "After conducting a pilot program with over 10,000 students nationwide, we identified a crucial gap. There was a primary need to shift the mindset from mere technology adoption to creating unique solutions that fit exactly what is needed. Therefore, our initiative aims to engage students and equip the next generation with a 'Design First' mentality. India's journey to becoming a design hub cannot be merely aspirational but a mandate for its progress and sustainability."

It is alarming to say that in a trillion-dollar product economy, India gets just 10% for manufacturing; the rest goes to the country that focuses on innovation or design. Keeping Atma Nirbhar and Made In India as the focal point, India's journey towards becoming a design hub is a necessity. Products must be designed, with an evolving mindset, keeping the consumers of the respective market/country in mind. Only when products are tailored to fit the ecosystem will they truly connect with the local audience.

TRIAD's mission is multifaceted. The main aim of TRIAD is to democratize design by bringing design knowledge accessible to all and to imbibe Indianness in design. It aims to bridge the gap between art, design, and society, propelling Indian design methodologies to address local challenges while celebrating the nation's rich cultural heritage. At its core, the brand seeks to champion indigenous art, craft, and design, positioning India as a global design hub by highlighting the need to go from an adoption mindset to an innovation mindset. It also looks forward to elevating public awareness and appreciation of India's artistic heritage.

Furthermore, it is committed to nurturing the next generation of design enthusiasts deeply rooted in Indian ethos. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, TRIAD fosters collaboration through mentorship, scholarships, and networks, establishing educational centers to promote skill development in traditional Indian art, craft, and design. hub is imperative for realizing the united goal for a 5 trillion-dollar economy, with a strong emphasis on promoting indigenous manufacturing.

While the world celebrated women's day this week, the Iron Lady Community had some very special celebrations! Iron Lady celebrated 50+ Community members reaching Crore+ yearly income, with the majority of women doubling their income in a short span of 12-18 months. During the event held on 10th March at Hyatt, Bengaluru, many of these women shared how Business Warfare concepts created by Iron Lady platform helped them to fast-track their career journey and forge forward. Iron lady team also pledged to support 1000 more women to reach 1Cr+ income benchmark in the next 3 years.

Iron Lady, the leading leadership platform for women, shared their vision of supporting a million women to reach the top and this was backed by many women who have reached TOP already. Many of the women leaders present in the event shared that this was the most impactful way of celebrating women’s day for them.

This gathering not only honored these accomplished women but also inspired many aspiring women to take big audacious goals to reach greater heights in their journey.

With a thriving community of successful women and strong connections with global leaders, Iron Lady, led by Rajesh Bhat, Founder and CEO, and Suvarna Hegde, Co-founder and Director, equips women with breakthrough programs to fast-track their careers.

"We've been fortunate to witness the extraordinary journeys of thousands of Iron Ladies over the last 5 years. Seeing them reach top leadership positions and surpass the 1 Crore mark fills us with immense joy. This is just the beginning. We're committed to supporting a million women to reach the top in the next 10 years!" – Rajesh Bhat, Founder and CEO – Iron Lady.

The event was powerful, full of energy as more women took the oath to reach the Crore Club. Energy flowing in the room was high, with attendees expressing excitement and commitment to their goals. It was an inspiring demonstration of what determination and support can achieve.

Many attendees expressed their joy. Rajni R stated, "This event wasn't just a celebration. Now it has charged me up to shoot for the 1 Crore Income Club." Another attendee, Tulika Srivastava, says, "It was so empowering to meet women who actually shattered the glass ceiling and made it through. I’ve found new idols!"

The Crore+ Club event offered a unique opportunity for women who are part of the Iron Lady community to meet and network with accomplished leaders and learn from their journeys. The event was filled with engaging activities like Crore Club Interviews, business discussions, rapid fire questions to leaders etc.

Iron lady also launched a new anthem that can be the way of life for aspiring women, symbolizing the potential of women and their commitment to growth.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to support numerous women and witness their fast-track growth. 50+ Women achieving annual incomes exceeding 1 Crore is a significant source of pride for us, though 1Cr is just one such reference of growth. It makes us believe that it’s not long before a million women reach the top!" – Suvarna Hegde, Co-Founder, Director – Iron Lady.

"Globally, women encounter significant challenges on their journey to top positions. I'm immensely proud to see the Iron Ladies overcoming these hurdles and winning in life!" – Simon Newman, Co-Founder, Chairman – Iron Lady, Ex-CEO, Aviva, Singapore.

It was very evidently seen in the event that if women are equipped with right ecosystem that nurtures their potential and gives space for growth, sky is the limit.

Pushpalatha MS, CEO of Prameya and one of the graduates of Iron Lady, mentioned, “After experiencing a transformation in my own life, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing numerous women experience multi-fold growth in record times. It’s been a pleasure to be a part of this community!”

Jayalakshmi shares, “Through the 100 Board Members Initiative of Iron Lady, I was able to transform my profile, reaching the coveted CRORE+ salary milestone, 4 times more than earlier income. Thanks to the Iron Lady platform.”

Smita expresses her gratitude, saying, “I didn’t even know that women could earn so much. The platform has made it possible for me!”

Sirisha reflects on her journey, stating, “I chose to stop going through the programs at IIMs and Harvard, and continued learning at Iron Lady. These programs and the platform supported me in reaching the 1 Cr+ income job and sustaining it.”

It’s unfortunate that even in this era, people find it difficult to believe that women can grow in their career, reach the TOP, earn 1Cr plus at the same time can build a joyous family life. This event broke such myths and Iron Lady clearly stood out as a powerful platform which enables women to maximize in every area of their life through multiple leadership programs and a power packed community.
