Many top corporates in the country are now proactively encouraging employees to carpool, bikepool, and use ride-share apps to commute to work — helping ease persistent traffic gridlocks across Indian cities and reduce air pollution.
Companies with large workforces such as Infosys, Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Amazon, Flipkart, Siemens, L&T, Biocon and HDFC Bank, along with several smaller companies, are running awareness campaigns and setting up digital platforms to make shared commuting the default choice.
Lakshna Chadha Jha, Co-founder & CEO of sRide, shared her views on why she’s optimistic about carpooling and its environmental impact with The Economic Times. She discusses how verified, community-driven carpooling can meaningfully reduce the number of vehicles on the road in India’s congested IT corridors — and why the corporate push is the key catalyst for mass adoption.
