Riding Towards Women Empowerment: Drivex Gifts Two-Wheelers To Underprivileged Women

Bangalore, March 29, 2024: India’s first multi-brand mobility platform DriveX Mobility Pvt Ltd has taken a significant step towards empowering underprivileged women by gifting two-wheelers to deserving women as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity.

DriveX presented the key to a two-wheeler to Sparsh Self Help group, from Bengaluru. The initiative aims to support and uplift the lives of women who face socio-economic challenges, providing them with a means of transportation to enhance their mobility and access to opportunities. The activity took place at the premises of Prayas Trust in Bangalore on March 27, 2024, with representatives from DriveX and Prayas Trust in attendance.

"We are thrilled to be a part of this impactful initiative that embodies our commitment to making a positive difference in society," said M Sadguru Swamy – Head HR of DriveX Mobility Private Limited. "At DriveX, we believe in empowering individuals and communities, and this gesture aligns perfectly with our values," he said.

Sparsh Self Help Group, known for its work in social welfare, expressed gratitude to DriveX for their generous contribution. Kanthamani, Founder at Prayas Trust, remarked, "We are deeply grateful to DriveX for their support in our mission to uplift the underprivileged. This contribution will make a significant difference in their lives, by enhancing them access to education, employment, and healthcare.”

By providing access to transportation, DriveX aims to enable women to pursue education, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities, thereby fostering economic independence and empowerment.

DriveX Mobility Pvt Ltd is Asia’s first multi-brand affordable mobility platform and India’s first and only digital-first auto-tech platform in the pre-owned two-wheeler category, that caters to the needs of the affordable mobility sector in India. The company was formed by leveraging decades of automotive, technology and BFSI expertise of its founders – Narain Karthikeyan and Christopher Sargunam.

DriveX provides top quality refurbished two-wheelers to customers and allows them to buy two-wheelers at reasonable prices. DriveX also operates a franchise model in addition to company-owned, company-operated (COCO) refurbishment centres and showrooms. The company’s value proposition goes beyond the mere sale of a pre-owned 2-wheeler – it is centred around three distinct strategies of technology-led sourcing to build scale, digital platform for an efficient price and vehicle discovery, and flexible ownership through financing tie-ups.
