      Apr 2021 - Nov 2022
      Co-Founder

      Ridego is a subscription-based cab aggregation platform where instead of paying commissions to the current cab aggregation platforms, drivers were able to pay Ridego daily subscriptions at a fixed rate and keep all the profits. This was a game-changing model for the taxi drivers and customers who were facing the cancellation and surge pricing model.We built the completely functional and compatible app for both Android and IOS in under 4 months and launched it in Assam and scaled up to 800 drivers in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, we later had to shut it down due to Political Bureaucracy and a highly capital-intensive model, which we figured was not sustainable in the long run. Show less
