Seed
Drivers especially commercial vehicles are a completely ignored lot. Shockingly their life expectancy could be lower by as much as 15 yrs. vs. the general population. Road accidents are a major loss to Fleet owners (Truck/Bus) and Insurance companies. India alone loses 3.14% of its GDP in RA. Third-party claims account for 40k Crs. a year loss to Insurance companies. Truckers lose over 4 lakhs per accident on average.
Our goal is to create a significant impact in the “LIFE OF A TRUCKER” IN TERMS OF LIVES SAVED and make their lives more convenient and rewarding.
