How a sRide Hero made daily commuting more practical
n cities like Pune, long commutes and rising daily travel costs can make office routines exhausting. For sRide Hero Jayshree Ashtekar, Senior Software Engineer at Dell, this became a real concern when office work resumed full-time.
Travelling from Yerwada to Hinjawadi, nearly 21 km one way, Jayshree needed a commute that fit into her life as a working parent. With daycare drop-offs and fixed office hours, last-minute travel decisions weren’t an option.
A colleague introduced her to sRide, suggesting she try carpooling with office peers from the same area. While her family was initially concerned, knowing that co-riders were colleagues living nearby built trust.
“Because money does matter,” she shares, reflecting on how daily solo travel added up quickly.
By booking rides a day earlier, she could plan her entire day—work, family, and travel—with confidence.
Impact & Data
With 86 rides completed, Jayshree experienced:
- More predictable daily travel
- Reduced stress on traffic-heavy routes
- Lower daily commute costs through shared rides
- Fewer cars contributing to congestion
- Carpooling became a real traffic solution and a sustainable commute choice.
If your daily commute feels heavy—on time, effort, or expenses—it doesn’t have to be solo.
