India made a significant advancement in its transportation industry with the launch of Bharat Taxi, the nation’s first cooperative-operated ride-hailing service.

The initiative will be officially launched by Hon’ble Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah at 3:00 pm at the Plenary Hall, Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

Bharat Taxi has been developed to offer a fair, trasparent and driver-friendly alternative to existing ride-hailing services.

The platform operates on the core idea of 'Sarathi Hi Malik', which defines the driver as the owner of the car.

Unlike, private ride-hailing platforms, Bharat Taxi enables drivers to handle their complete earnings and choose their working hours accordingly.

Bharat Taxi provides a unique feature through its zero-commission and no-surge pricing system which operates during all times as drivers would not have to pay commission on their rides and passengers won't be charged extra prices during peak times or adverse weather conditions.

The service functions as Indianas first ride-hailing service which operates through a complete cooperative framework.

The initiative aims to decrease drivers dependency on platforms which rely on international funding while establishing a national self-sufficient transportation system.

The event is believed to honor 6 exceptional drivers who belong to the group of Sarathis as they have made important contributions to the cooperative mobility system.

The platform owners will be provided with certificates which will establish their ownership rights to the platform.

Bharat Taxi operates through its core mission to protect driver welfare while providing social security benefits.

The platform grants each registered Sarathi personal accident insurance coverage which reaches up to Rs 5 lakh and family health insurance benefits.

The platform provides retirement savings plans together with a specialized driver support system which helps drivers deal with their everyday issues.

The service functions through two elements which include authenticated ride records and emergency support systems while permitting drivers to use multiple systems without signing exclusive contracts.

The organization maintains support centers at important locations throughout the country which includes Delhi to deliver direct assistance to drivers.

The organization has created special programs which focus on supporting women's empowerment. The platform implemented an initiative of 'Bike Didi' which targets 150 women drivers already registered as users.

Bharat Taxi has experienced fast growth since its initial operations because the platform has gained hundreds of thousands of drivers and users who use its services for daily ride transactions.

The platform plans to expand across all states and cities in the coming years and integrate with India’s digital public infrastructure.

Bharat Taxi establishes its mission to create an inclusive people-centered transportation system which operates sustainably through its cooperative business model and fair pricing structure and commitment to driver dignity.
