We are an year old startup firm working for channelizing the rickshaw drivers(both manual and motor)into a more civilised as well as financial stable individuals, also using their space at their vehicle for advertisements for companies across UP.We create a chain of keeping the auto drivers involved and helps them gain some monetary benefit. But as the advertising arena is all about credit and the social impact requires initial capital,so we are seeking funding to increase our scale of impact.
