Rapido, India's commute app known for its multimodal services, including bike-taxis, autos and cabs, has launched its innovative SaaS (Software as a Service) model for Auto Captains.
Rapido shifts from aggregator commission-led model to introduce a lifetime Zero Commission for auto captains, reducing the burden of exorbitant commission rates and empowering them to take control of their earnings.
Under this model, Rapido plays no role in deciding the price point, making the service transparent and inclusive for all stakeholders.
Expressing his excitement about this latest milestone, Pavan Guntupalli, Cofounder of Rapido, said, “We are incredibly excited to integrate the SaaS model to Rapido Autos. We have seen tremendous success in every city where Rapido Autos is operational. Nation-wide, we have enabled auto captains to earn over Rs 2700 crore since inception and strive to put maximum earnings to those who provide us with the commute.
Our cutting-edge SaaS platform transforms the traditional commission system for auto drivers. It is a groundbreaking approach which guarantees that captains bear only a nominal access fee, rather than a commission per ride. This marks a noteworthy change in the industry bringing in a more enabling revenue model for our captains.”
By directly receiving payments from customers, captains break free from commission constraints, maximising their lifetime earnings.
This fosters an inclusive platform benefitting both captains and customers alike.
Customers also enjoy competitive fares in the Auto segment, thanks to the comprehensive Software as a Service (SaaS) platform consolidating various commuting solutions into a single, user-friendly app.
