Rapido is an Indian bike-taxi and logistics
service company, founded in 2015. It operates as a platform where users can book bike taxis for short-distance rides within cities.
How Rapido Dominated the Bike Taxi Genre?
So Rapido was founded in 2015 by IIT alumni Aravind Sanka and Pavan Guntupalli.
Aravind, once stuck in traffic, realized that bikes could navigate traffic easily and thought of starting a bike taxi company
Rapido foraying into Food Delivery could be a game-changer esp. following its disruptive impact on ride-hailing services.
🗓️Back in 2017 → Uber via 'Uber Eats' made a similar attempt but struggled to compete with Zomato/Swiggy.
So, why does Rapido
Founded in 2016 by three friends, Rapido wasn’t even supposed to be a bike taxi service. It started as a logistics company called “The karrier,” but they soon had the realisation: India has 75% of its vehicles as two-wheelers, and no one’s using them
Would you prefer "nano" type taxi fleet services if they provided aur conditioned, safer commute than the rapido style taxis and cheaper than traditional ola uber?
What would you use this service usually for?

App Idea: Ride & Parcel Share (Like BlaBlaCar for Short Distances)
A peer-to-peer ride-sharing app where travelers post their routes, and others book a seat or send a parcel with them. Unlike Rapido, it’s not a taxi service but a cost-sharing model
