Discover how sRide is transforming daily commutes for corporate employees, saving money, reducing traffic congestion, and making commuting more sustainable. With over 10 lakh users and a strong focus on safety, sRide is leading the way in carpooling.
What’s the one thing we all do just before leaving home in the morning, and again when we’re heading back in the evening? It’s simple: we try to avoid peak-hour traffic. But finding a reliable way to do so isn’t always easy. This is where sRide comes in.
Launched in 2015 by Elections Charatan Cha-da and Amit Agarwal, sRide is a carpooling app that matches riders with car owners based on location and time preferences. With sRide, users can post their rides on the app and receive multiple options for carpooling, making it easier to share rides, save money, and contribute to a greener environment.
sRide’s Growth and User Base
Since its inception, sRide has grown exponentially, reaching over 10 lakh users across nine cities including Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, and Bhopal. This success is a testament to the demand for efficient and eco-friendly commuting solutions, particularly for corporate employees.
Safety and Trust: The Core of sRide
One of sRide’s key differentiators is its focus on safety and trust. The app requires users to verify their work email, creating a trustworthy environment for both riders and car owners. Moreover, sRide has implemented a two-way rating and review process, where both riders and car owners provide feedback on each other. This feature ensures that only trusted users are part of the community, increasing safety and reliability.
Interestingly, 60% of sRide’s users are women, showcasing the platform’s commitment to creating a safe environment for all commuters.
Cost-Efficiency with sRide
Compared to other ride-hailing services like Ola or Uber, sRide offers a significantly cheaper alternative. For example, a 15 km ride with a pool in Ola or Uber can cost around ₹200 to ₹300, especially with surge pricing. However, with sRide, that same ride costs around ₹70, making it an affordable and sustainable commuting solution for daily office-goers.
Corporate Partnerships and Impact
sRide is focused on corporate partnerships and has already onboarded over 400 leading companies like TCS, HCL, Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro, and Capgemini. These companies have tens of thousands of employees, many of whom come from nearby residential areas. By partnering with sRide, these companies are not only helping employees reduce commuting stress but are also tackling parking issues and reducing the economic burden of providing transportation to staff.
One such company, Capgemini, has seen great success with sRide. They’ve successfully implemented sRide’s carpooling program, saving 2 million tons of CO₂ emissions, which is equivalent to planting about 150,000 trees.
The Road Ahead: Growing 10x
sRide’s growth has been phenomenal, with the company growing 10x in the last year alone. Their goal for this year is to grow another 10x, and based on the current trajectory, it seems highly achievable.
Since its inception, sRide has collectively carpooled more than 10 million kilometers—that’s about 26 round trips to the moon! The app’s success speaks for itself in terms of environmental impact, cost savings, and community-building.
