Rapido, India’s largest bike taxi platform, continues to extend their support for India’s war against Covid and frontline warriors by providing Covid Care Kits in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, under the #RapidoPitstop Campaign. The campaign is aimed at providing some relief to the frontline workers like police personnel at checkpoints, healthcare workers like doctors, nurses and ASHA workers as well as corporation workers, in various parts of the cities. The company plans to extend the campaign to 15 more cities it is present in, including Tier II and III cities.
Rapido Captains
delivered these kits that contained essentials such as face masks, hand
sanitizers, food and drink packets, that will help them refresh themselves and
at the same time help them be safe. The Captains in Delhi delivered to police
personnel at checkpoints like Kapashera Border Checkpoint, Ambience Mall
Checkpoint, Mehrauli Gurgaon Border Checkpoint and Iffco Chowk Checkpoint. The
Captains in Bangalore delivered the care packages to doctors at BBMP Health
Centre, Tavarkere, BTP Layout and BBMP Centre, Adugodi, to staff nurses at
Agadi Hospital & Research Centre at Wilson Garden and Supra Multispeciality
Hospital at JP Nagar. They also delivered to ASHA workers and Corporation
workers at COVID Care Centres in HSR Layout, Jayanagar, BTM and Koramangala and
to Police Staff at JP Nagar, BTM, and HSR Checkpoints in Bangalore.
Pavan Guntupalli, co-founder,
Rapido, said, “During
these difficult times, frontline workers are continuously and selflessly
putting themselves at grave risks and helping citizens navigate through the
pandemic safely. We believe that they need to be equally protected and taken
care of, with whatever little we can do. Being part of the essential delivery
ecosystem, we at Rapido, want to contribute towards the safety and health of
the frontline warriors, through these Covid Care Kits. Their contribution is
invaluable and this is our way of showing gratitude.”
Rapido recently
announced starting city-wise vaccination drives for its Captains, starting the
first drive in Chennai in collaboration with the Chennai City Corporation. Last
year, it launched several initiatives towards maintaining safety and following
guidelines to protect the customer and the Captain, including the innovative safety
back shields for bike taxi rides. The company also introduced new policy
support last year, where the company provides free cancellation if Captains or
customers are without a mask. It also launched the first phase of
#RideToVaccinate Campaign, that gave eligible customers going for vaccination,
free rides to and from selected hospitals.
