Rapido has teamed up with TotalEnergies India Private Limited (TEMIPL) to enhance the earnings and well-being of its auto captains. Starting with immediate fuel savings of up to 12%, the partnership will also promote the use of Auto LPG as a cleaner fuel in six South Indian cities. This collaboration aims to create a more sustainable and driver-centric ecosystem in the ride-sharing industry.
The initiative will kick-off with fuel savings and extend to a range of benefits such as vehicle maintenance facilities, including oil top-ups, brake checkups, and regular servicing support like wheel alignments. Exclusive loyalty programs and other value-added services will also be introduced to improve the everyday experience of auto captains.
“Our auto captains are the heart of Rapido, and their success is our priority,” said Pavan Guntupalli, Co-founder, Rapido. “By joining forces with TEMIPL, we are not only augmenting savings for the driver but also investing in their long-term growth and well-being. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to creating a sustainable and rewarding platform for our drivers.”
Subramaniam Ramaswamy, Deputy CEO, LPG Division, TEMIPL added, “We are excited to partner with Rapido in their mission to empower auto captains. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing innovative energy solutions and supporting local communities. By optimizing Auto LPG consumption and offering additional benefits, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable, safe and efficient transportation ecosystem.”
This collaboration will benefit over 4 lakh auto captains across Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Coimbatore, Mysore, and Salem. By merging Rapido’s understanding of the ride-sharing sector with TEMIPL’s expertise in energy solutions, the partnership aims to redefine standards of driver welfare, safety, and sustainability in the industry.
