Amit Shah to Launch Bharat Taxi: India's First Driver-Owned Ride-Hailing Cooperative

• Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch Bharat Taxi, India's first cooperative-led ride-hailing platform, on February 5 at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi.
• Bharat Taxi operates on a zero-commission and surge-free pricing model, distributing profits directly to drivers (sarathis), freeing them from exploitative aggregator models.
• The platform will honor top sarathis with share certificates, personal accident insurance of ₹5 lakh, and family health insurance of ₹5 lakh, emphasizing driver welfare.
• Established on June 6, 2025, Bharat Taxi is the world's largest driver-owned mobility platform, with over three lakh drivers and 10,000 daily rides in Delhi-NCR and Gujarat.
• Bharat Taxi plans nationwide expansion within two years, aiming to establish support centers in every state and promote women's empowerment through initiatives like 'Bike Didi'.
