How a sRide Hero turned her Mumbai commute into a shared journey
In busy cities like Mumbai, commuting often feels repetitive and isolating. Long routes, crowded roads, and silent travel are part of daily life. But for sRide Hero Prarthana Churi, Digital Strategist at IML India, Hyderabad, one decision changed how she experienced her commute.
“I’m not looking for any other option,” Prarthana says—and that confidence comes from lived experience.
She noticed something many commuters do: people from her area travelled to Mumbai every day. Some even lived in her building. Yet, there was no connection.
sRide helped bridge that gap.
With time, strangers became familiar co-riders. Conversations replaced quiet rides. Trust grew naturally. Today, Prarthana has completed 86 rides with fellow sRide Heroes.
Impact & Everyday Benefits
By choosing carpooling:
- Multiple solo car trips were avoided
- Traffic pressure on common routes reduced
- CO₂ emissions lowered through shared travel
- Commute time felt more meaningful and social
- Carpooling isn’t just a traffic solution—it’s a sustainable habit that fits into daily life.
Why It Matters
For Prarthana, the biggest impact wasn’t just environmental—it was personal.
She enjoys meeting new people, networking during everyday travel, and knowing her commute contributes positively to the city.
Her journey shows that when commuting becomes community-led, sustainability follows naturally.
If you travel the same route every day, chances are—someone near you does too.
