Bengaluru, October 20, 2023: Rapido, India’s leading bike taxi platform, collaborated with Bengaluru Traffic Police to organize an awareness drive by distributing helmets and raincoats to 200 traffic policemen at Shalini Ground, Jayanagara on 19th October 2023. The occasion was graced by Shiva Prakash Devaraju IPS, DCP, Traffic, South Division, Bengaluru, Government of Karnataka, and T. Mahadeva, ACP, Jayanagar Police Station.

In a meaningful gesture, Shiva Prakash Devaraju and T. Mahadeva personally distributed 100 helmets to Rapido bike taxi captains and took the opportunity to speak about the importance of road safety. The company believes that safeguarding riders and law enforcement officers is a shared responsibility, and this endeavor underlines that commitment.

Furthermore, Rapido is also actively investing in enhancing the infrastructure available to traffic police officers. By installing modern traffic police booths at 15 strategic locations throughout the city, including prominent areas like Shalini Ground in Jayanagar 5th Block, Jayanagar Metro Station Signal, Chunchaghatta Signal, 100 Feet Road Sarakki, Delmia Signal, and Forum Mall Signal.

Pavan Guntupalli, Co-founder of Rapido, stressed on the significance of road safety and the partnership with Bengaluru Traffic Police, stating, “At Rapido, we have always placed safety as our top priority. We are excited to team up with the dedicated officers of Bengaluru Traffic Police to further our mission of enhancing road safety in the city. This collaboration highlights our commitment to ensure safer streets in Bengaluru. Together with our esteemed partners, we aim to make a positive impact on road safety for all residents and commuters in the city.”

During the event, Shiva Prakash Devaraju IPS, DCP, Traffic, South Division, Bengaluru said “I extend my first and foremost thanks to Rapido for their remarkable initiatives. It’s noteworthy that Bengaluru currently holds the second position nationwide, just behind Delhi, in terms of the number of two-wheelers on its roads. Based on the current registration trends, it’s foreseeable that in the next 2 to 3 years, Bengaluru will become the city with the most two-wheelers in the country. On this trajectory, Rapido will surpass 20,000 bikes. There are two crucial facets to consider: from the perspective of bike taxi captains, ensuring timely and efficient pick-up and drop-off services for customers is paramount; from the viewpoint of traffic police, irrespective of the mode of transport, our shared objectives remain consistent – promoting safe transportation and mitigating traffic congestion. It is imperative that bike taxi captains establish and maintain regular communication with traffic police officials. Furthermore, I emphasize that prioritizing the use of helmets should be your foremost concern, promoting the safety and well-being of both riders and passengers alike.”

T. Mahadeva, ACP, Jayanagar Police Station, Bengaluru said “Every day, we encounter a multitude of challenges in our daily work routine. The rise in individuals disregarding traffic regulations and the increasing frequency of signal violations are becoming pressing concerns. Nonetheless, we have surveillance cameras strategically positioned at various traffic signals, which continuously monitor and record infractions. Our Traffic Management Center (TMC) diligently processes and registers between 40,000 to 50,000 cases online each day. This robust system underscores the need for Rapido drivers to exhibit responsible behavior by strictly adhering to traffic regulations and working in tandem with our dedicated traffic police officers. By doing so, we play a crucial role in fostering the transformation of Bangalore into a city known for its international standard of safety and responsible driving.”

In addition to providing safety gear, Rapido is actively engaged in promoting safety awareness among its bike taxi captains and the larger two-wheeler rider community. The company educates riders on the importance of adhering to traffic rules, wearing protective gear, and practicing responsible riding behavior. Rapido has distributed 100 helmets throughout India to promote road safety and has previously collaborated with the Noida Traffic Police to enhance road safety.

Kolkata, October 20, 2023: iLEAD, Institute of Leadership, Entrepreneurship And Development, through its Waste Billionaire initiative and in collaboration with Moitreyee Sangha, has unveiled a unique idol created entirely from discarded automobile parts.

The pandal is a testament to sustainability and innovation, featuring various upcycled and recycled items such as a sofa made from discarded cycle tires, lights crafted from parts of washing machines, a vertical garden constructed from plastic bottles, and more. It is not just a celebration of tradition, but a powerful statement on environmental consciousness and entrepreneurship.

The primary objective of this remarkable endeavor is to inspire the youth to actively participate in environmental conservation by reducing waste and carbon emissions. In today’s world, the climate crisis looms large, and this initiative strives to be a catalyst for change.

What makes this initiative even more special is its emphasis on promoting entrepreneurship through upcycling and recycling waste. “With minimal capital investment, individuals can transform discarded materials into valuable creations, contributing not only to the environment but also to economic growth. India witnesses a staggering influx of approximately 2.5 million tons of automobile waste destined for scrapping annually. Converting this waste into scrap art offers a substantial business opportunity”, said Mr. Pradip Chopra, Chairman of iLEAD.

As an institution that fosters leadership, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development, iLEAD is committed to spreading awareness among the youth and encouraging them to become responsible citizens and innovative entrepreneurs.

The Moitreyee Sangha pandal serves as a reminder that beauty can emerge from the most unexpected places and that innovation can solve complex environmental problems.

Plant-Based Navaratri Campaign advocates for a “Shubharambh,” a positive beginning towards adopting plant-based diets. This not only aligns with the principles of ethics, health, and environmental conservation but also presents a path to a more compassionate world. Plant-based foods offer the benefits of taste, texture, protein, and essential nutrients without guilt, contributing to a better and more sustainable world. These foods replace animal-based ingredients, such as plant-based dairy, plant-based meat, plant-based eggs, and plant-based seafood, which can be enjoyed during these festival days.

Sanjay Sethi, Executive Director, Plant Based Foods Industry Association (PBFIA) & Human Utilization Advisor, South Asia, USSEC, passionately expressed the campaign’s mission, stating, “The Plant-Based Navaratri Campaign is a movement that aims to educate and inspire as many individuals as possible, addressing their questions and guiding them toward embracing plant-based foods as a positive lifestyle change.”

The Plant-Based Navaratri Campaign extends an open invitation to everyone to embrace plant-based foods and make a “Shubharambh” towards a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

With support from a diverse array of organizations, including the ProVeg International, Animal Climate Health Save India, Satvik Vegan Society, Ahimsa Land Foundation, Indian Culinary Forum, World Animal Protection India, FoodTechBiz, IMAGES Group, Mishry Reviews, Indo Agri Food and Feed and many others, we are able to further spread the message of compassion and sustainability.

In the series of events, a highly impactful webinar is taking place on 22nd October, bringing together individuals worldwide to celebrate and emphasize the importance of choosing plant-based foods. The event will also delve into maintaining a healthy life and utilizing plant-based nutrition for various health conditions. You can participate in the webinar by registering at this link: http://bit.ly/PBNC2023.

The campaign has generated significant enthusiasm among the youth, who actively engage by organizing outreach programs and contests within their college campuses. It has also found enthusiastic support on social media platforms and in educational institutes, such as the Indian Institute of Hotel Management Mumbai where intriguing discussions and plant-based food demonstrations will take place on 20th October on their campus.

The campaign also features product tastings from a variety of companies, offering attendees the opportunity to experience the delicious world of plant-based cuisine. Participating companies include Another Foods, Born Reborn, Continental Greenbird, BVeg, Blue Tribe, Evo Foods, Evolved Foods, GoodDot, Greenest, goCore Superfood, Grabenord, Get Sain, Hello Tempayy, Hemp Horizons, Plantmade, Plantaway, Plantwise, Shaka Harry, Seaspire, Symega, Urban Tiller, The Vegan Marketer, Urban Platter, Vezlay, Vegan Dukan, Wakao, WhiteCub, and many others.

Additionally, the campaign collaborated with the Ekatva Plant-Based Food Festival in Delhi on 15th October and supported the World Food Day event organized by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries and NIFTEM-Kundli in partnership with Ind Food & Beverage Association, where students had a delightful experience trying out Continental Greenbird plant-based kebabs, plant-based chicken nuggets, and Born Reborn’s millet-based products.
