Rapido is India's largest bike taxi platform, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The company operates a mobile app-based service that connects customers with bike riders for quick, affordable, and convenient urban transportation. Rapido's mission is to make commuting faster, more accessible, and cost-effective, particularly in congested city environments. By leveraging technology, Rapido offers real-time ride booking, transparent pricing, and safety features such as live ride tracking and insurance coverage.
With a presence in over 100 cities across India and a growing fleet of riders, Rapido has expanded beyond bike taxis to include auto-rickshaw services and delivery solutions. The company has attracted significant venture funding from investors such as WestBridge Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, and has collaborated with state governments for last-mile connectivity initiatives. In recent years, Rapido has reported strong growth in user adoption and has become a key player in India's ride-hailing market, competing with giants like Ola and Uber while carving out a niche in two-wheeler mobility.
