How a sRide Hero made daily commuting more practical
In 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.
“Why Everyday Costs 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.
