Hero MotoCorp drives inclusive road safety with ride safe India

In a bold move to empower women on India's roads, Hero MotoCorp teamed up with Haryana Police and Raahgiri Foundation for the thrilling SheRidesForSafety Women's Night Rally in Gurugram. This event, timed ahead of International Women's Day, saw 150 fearless women riders conquer a 9-kilometer nighttime route through the city's bustling streets. It wasn't just a ride; it was a statement on confidence, visibility, and shared responsibility for safer mobility.

Launched in January 2026 during National Road Safety Month, the Ride Safe India campaign anchors Hero's three-month push across Delhi, Gurugram, Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. Rooted in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' 4Es—Education, Engineering, Enforcement, and Emergency Care. This initiative blends hands-on training, community drives, and tech-savvy awareness to turn road safety into an everyday habit.

Rally Highlights

The rally kicked off with flair, flagged by Dr. Arpit Jain, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters); Dr. Rajesh Mohan, Deputy Commissioner of Traffic Police; and Sanjay Bhan, Hero MotoCorp's Vice President of Global Business Product Planning. Station House Officer Ms. Sonia and her women police team added muscle to the cause. These 150 riders lit up Gurugram's evening roads, proving women belong everywhere, day or night.

In a heartfelt touch, 14 women traffic police officers received honors for their frontline work in safe mobility. This celebration spotlighted female leaders shaping safer streets, aligning perfectly with the campaign's inclusivity vibe.

Campaign Pillars

Ride Safe India hits all angles of the 4Es framework. Education comes through school activations at 60 institutions, including contests, jingle workshops, and International Road Federation simulations for kids. Engineering shines through 10 Safe School Zones with speed bumps, markings, and 200 signs at risky spots.

Enforcement partners with traffic cops for behavior change, while Emergency Care trains over 1,000 gig workers as first responders via Hero's traffic parks, complete with gear, first aid, and protocols. Community efforts include 250 mobile billboards, pledges from one million parents and kids, and drives at 500 fuel stations.

Latika Taneja, Head of Corporate Communications, CSR, and Corporate Affairs at Hero MotoCorp, nailed it: "Road safety defines us as the world's top two-wheeler maker. Safe mobility empowers women and society—when they ride free, we all advance." Dr. Arpit Jain echoed, "Ride Safe India declares roads for everyone, anytime.
