Key Highlights:

• Rapido has unveiled its groundbreaking Software as a Service (SaaS) model tailored specifically for Auto Captains.
• Rapido stands as a leading commuter app offering auto, bike taxi, and cab services across 100+ cities in India
• By alleviating the burden of lifetime commissions, Rapido remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritizing captain welfare and customer satisfaction.

Rapido, India's foremost commuter app renowned for its diverse range of services spanning bike-taxis, autos, and cabs, has unveiled its groundbreaking Software as a Service (SaaS) model tailored specifically for Auto Captains. This strategic maneuver marks a significant departure from the conventional aggregator commission-led approach, as Rapido pioneers a lifetime Zero Commission structure for auto captains, thereby alleviating the burden of exorbitant commission rates and empowering them to assume control over their earnings. Under this pioneering model, Rapido relinquishes its involvement in price determination, fostering a transparent and inclusive service ecosystem for all stakeholders.

Mr Pavan Guntupalli, co-founder of Rapido, said, "We are incredibly excited to integrate the SaaS model to Rapido Autos. We have seen tremendous success in every city where Rapido Autos is operational. Nation-wide, we have enabled auto captains to earn over R2700 cores since inception and strive to put maximum earnings to those who provide us with the commute. Our cutting-edge SaaS platform transforms the traditional commission system for auto captains. It is a groundbreaking approach which guarantees that captains bear only a nominal access fee, rather than a commission per ride. This marks a noteworthy change in the industry bringing in a more enabling revenue model for our captains."
