Rapido, India’s bike taxi-hailing platform, extends its support to the frontline warriors by providing COVID Care Kits in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru.. The company provided kits to frontline workers like Police personnel at checkpoints, Healthcare workers like Doctors, Nurses, and ASHA workers as well as corporation workers, in various parts of the cities. The company plans to extend this campaign to 15 more cities it is present in, including Tier II and III cities. 

Pavan Guntupalli, Co-Founder, Rapido, said, “During these difficult times, frontline workers are continuously and selflessly putting themselves at grave risks and helping citizens navigate through the pandemic safely. We believe that they need to be equally protected and taken care of, with whatever little we can do. Being part of the essential delivery ecosystem, we at Rapido, want to contribute towards the safety and health of the frontline warriors, through these COVID Care Kits. Their contribution is invaluable and this is our way of showing gratitude.”
