ISLAMABAD: inDrive, Shell and Muawin are collaborating to deliver fuel management solutions to inDrive ‘champs’, stated a press release.
The collaboration will result in a dynamic fuel accessibility solution for inDrive drivers and special training for ‘champs’ with exclusively designed courses that will help them improve their services and effectively, earn more through better ratings.
Upon the receipt of a personalised Shell Fleet Card, inDrive champs will get access to fuel financing from Muawin to fulfill their mobility needs at Shell. Through tech-enabled financing, inDrive Champs can obtain fuel on credit at several Shell retail stations across the city.
Speaking at the launch ceremony of the collaboration, Afanasiy Petrov, Business Development Manager for inDrive in South Asia, stated: “We see and understand that the availability of fuel is a crucial issue for drivers, and any changes in this market directly affect their well-being, income level, and activity. In general, this is true for the whole nation since fuel is the engine of the economy and its future development. On this basis, we decided to enter into a partnership with Shell and Muawin to provide our drivers with the opportunity to have access to fuel. Collaborations such as this uphold our mission to challenge injustice worldwide.”
Syed Saad, District Sales Manager for Shell Pakistan, commented: “With the combined diverse technological expertise of Shell, inDrive and Muawin, we are in a position to empower service providers by facilitating them with a fuel management solution adapted to their needs. We look forward to growing this collaboration further to power progress in Pakistan.”
Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Hashim Ali said: “At a time when our fellow Pakistanis are facing serious economic hardships, Muawin’s Fuel Financing product ‘Sahulat’ has truly become a game changer for the nation’s ride-hailing sector. Our collaboration with inDrive and Shell will further enable us to massively enhance the scope of our impact – empowering more drivers with financial independence and gearing them through our partnership towards growth and success.”
inDrive, a global IT and transportation platform, says it is one of the world’s fastest-growing online ride-hailing services. Its services are available in over 700 cities in 47 countries around the world, where it prioritises the well-being of the communities and seeks to empower individuals with enhanced economic opportunities and movement through its technology services.
The company says its app has been downloaded over 150 million times.
“inDrive has grown far beyond ride-sharing to become a marketplace of services, including inter-city transportation, freight and cargo services, domestic services, job searches, and delivery. The company will continue to expand and diversify the services they offer,” it said.
inDrive is based in Mountain View, California, operates regional hubs in the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the countries of the CIS, and employs over 2,400 people.
