📸 Event Highlights

Every city has a rhythm.
In Pune, it’s the rush of morning commutes, office schedules, and packed roads stretching from Kothrud to Kharadi, Hinjawadi to Baner, Viman Nagar to Camp, Magarpatta to Kalyani Nagar.

But in the middle of all that chaos, something meaningful is happening.

People aren’t just traveling.
They’re removing cars from the road, reducing traffic, learning, laughing, and supporting each other.
They’re turning daily commutes into shared experiences.

And that spirit came alive at the sRide Pune User Connect Event — a gathering built entirely for the people who make the platform what it is — the riders.

This wasn’t a conference.
This wasn’t a product demo.
It was a community circle — a space to hear stories, celebrate journeys, and build connections that go far beyond a ride.

🌟 “This event is for you. We want to hear from you.”

The event opened with a grounding message from the sRide team:

“Our goal is simple — make commuting easier, affordable, and social. We’re the only mobility app in India that is truly social… and the best in the world.”

And Pune riders agreed instantly.
Because for them, sRide isn’t just a commute app — it’s a people app.

👥 Real Users. Real Stories. Real Connections.

From the moment riders began sharing their experiences, one theme stood out:
Riding in Pune today is more human than ever.

💬 “I’ve been using sRide for 4–5 years… and recently, I made my best buddy here.” — Nisha Pradhan

Different companies, different schedules, different backgrounds — yet she found someone who shares her interests and mindset.
It wasn’t a commute anymore… it was a friendship.

🤣 Another rider shared a hilarious ritual:
“When someone has an office call, the whole car automatically switches to Radio Silence mode.”
Everyone laughed—because every rider has felt it.

🤝 Then came a moment that silenced the room:
“You ride with amazing people… and it means three fewer cars on the road.”

It wasn’t about convenience — it was about impact.

Four riders in one car means:

• fewer traffic jams
• lesser pollution
• time + fuel savings
• collective contribution to a better Pune

Small decisions. Big difference.

🌱 One rider summed it up:
“It’s not about earning. It’s about saving fuel, time, and building bonds.”

💡 A Story That Inspired The Room

One co-rider shared how he casually helped another rider understand personal finance during daily commutes.

Within 3 months, he helped him transform his financial portfolio —
from loss-making (red) to profitable (green) just by sharing guidance and habits during rides.

• No workshops.
• No coaching fees.
  Just a human connection inside a car.

🎶 A Social Mobility Story: From Strangers → Co-Riders → Friends

Pune riders opened up about how sRide shaped their professional and personal lives:

• mentorship and career advice
• startup discussions
• learning from people across industries
• emotional support on stressful days
• discovering friends who feel like family

In a world where commutes are often transactional, Pune riders showed how sRide turns every car into a micro-community.

🌍 A Better Pune Starts With Shared Journeys

Traffic in Pune is real — Baner, Hinjawadi, Viman Nagar, Camp, Kharadi, Magarpatta, Aundh, Koregaon Park, Wakad, Bavdhan — every corner feels the pressure.

But every shared ride:

🚗 removes a car
⛽ saves fuel
🌫 lowers emissions
🚦 reduces congestion
💬 builds social capital
❤️ brings people closer

When four riders share a car, they create space—not just for themselves, but for the city.

💙 “sRide is all about you.”

The sRide team repeated this message throughout the event:

“This platform is built on your trust, your stories, and your willingness to share.”

The Pune User Connect wasn’t for branding.
It wasn’t for features.
It was for the community.
