We Stand United – OYE!
Updated: Apr 20, 2020
The Coronavirus pandemic has affected all of our lives and even scared us to a great extent. The government is doing the best it can to protect us, but it’s also our responsibility to help those dependent on us.
Taking this into consideration, we at OYE! Rickshaw are taking all the required steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, our driver partners, and our riders.
Driver Partners - Financial support is the need of the hour for our Driver Partners, therefore we have partnered with Bhumi (NGO) and Goodera to start a Relief Fund. This fund will be used to cover all immediate necessities for the driver partners and their families.
- Anyone who wishes to contribute can do so through our Goodera campaign - https://campaigns.goodera.com/oyerickshaw
- This fund is used to give groceries and other basic amenities to our driver partner which will help them financially in this time of need.
- We are regularly providing information to our Driver Partners on government schemes and facilities which are suitable for them at this trying time. We are also becoming facilitators for the same.
- We are reaching out to Vehicle Owners and Bankers to postpone rental payments/EMIs.
- All driver partners have been given masks and sanitizers for their safety at home. We are also implementing plans to make sure all our Driver Partners wear masks and their vehicles are fully sanitized once we resume our services.
- A new earning opportunity is provided to our OYE Driver Partners. They are delivering essential items now.
Riders
- We are keeping our riders informed about new initiatives announced by OYE and the Govt. of India.
- We are getting inputs from our riders on how OYE can serve them better and how we can improve our services once we come out of the lockdown.
- We have implemented plans to ensure a safe ride for our customers once the lockdown is lifted.
