Not only will drivers be able to take a deserved break, but they will also be able to participate in free training programs every week, where they will receive tips on safety, rating system, payment, and service policies, as well as on how to get more positive ratings and reviews.
“I believe Pakistan is a great country with hard-working people and a bright future, at inDrive we always strive to support people whether it’s passengers or drivers. inDrive launched in Pakistan during the pandemic when many people lost their jobs so we implemented our brand motive here to support societies by providing jobs and solving the public transportation problem simultaneously, and we’re glad that our effort is going in the right direction in terms of our company mission and values.” stated by Afanasiy Petrov – SA Business Development Manager
“We are really excited about this project; it was in our plan since the very beginning to give back to our drivers’ community which is vital for us. We really appreciate the work being done by our Champions and want to help them in any way possible. We have started with a designated area for our drivers to rest, communicate with us and with each other, and improve their skills to become even better in their job and earn more with us. This is only the beginning and we plan to scale a number of activities and programs for our drivers in the next year, said Elena Gotovtseva- Marketing Manager – South Asia.
