Quick Ride witnessed a phenomenal year with over 22,00,000 new users registered across Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kerala, and Kolkata in 2019.
The Bengaluru based start-up entered the market in 2015 and has recorded a growth of 3X this year with an overall registered user base growing to 3.2 Million Users.
In the same period, Quick Ride has witnessed 4X growth in the number of carpools facilitated by the company compared to 2018. Quick Ride users have shared 2,75,00,000 rides with their fellow car-poolers and have prevented the release of 53,000 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2019 just by sharing vehicles.
The company has seen a steep rise in women users with around 6,30,000 women registered on the application in the past year.
Car-pooling as a concept has gained momentum in metropolitan cities that are bogged down by traffic congestion and vehicular pollution. However, carpooling today stands out primarily because it is both affordable and environmentally sustainable, users of the application can assess and analyse their contribution to reducing their carbon footprint on the application.
Quick Ride also has a steady base of regular users of the application with over 100000 plus users across 6000 companies completed 100 Carpools each.
Quick Ride owes its success to the office going community, who are sharing the empty seats in their cars with colleagues. Over the years, Quick Ride has partnered with various corporates to raise awareness on car-pooling.
The past year saw the likes of Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Capgemini, Verizon, QUALCOMM, Amazon, Deloitte, HDFC, Biocon, Society General, L & T, Ericsson, EY-India, TATA ELXSI, Maruti Suzuki, Harman and Reliance-JIO collaborating with Quick Ride to educate and encourage employees to adopt car-pooling.
Carpooling will not only reduce the vehicles from the road but will also decrease carbon footprint and drastically cut down on transit time.
