Roshni Rides

The Challenge

Female commuters are suffering from a huge transportation crisis.

Roshni Rides recognizes that women in Karachi are 4 times less mobile than men leading to a decrease in independence and job participation.

We believe we can close this gap by formalizing the current pick & drop system through our digital platform.

We are working with corporations & universities to bring a more mobile Karachi to women.

The Solution

Roshni Rides is an end-to-end enterprise transportation solution. We charge your business per seat not per vehicle. With Roshni Rides, businesses only pay for what they need.

Our mission is to empower women in Pakistan through transportation.

The Roshni Rides Team

Roshni Rides is the 2017 Hult Prize Challenge winning team. Every year, the competition asks students to create a business model that helps solve some of the worlds biggest issues. The 4 Pakistan-American co-founders saw a huge transportation problem for females in Pakistan and wanted to address it.

After a year long journey of being in the competition and working on their start up, Roshni Rides successfully won the Hult Prize Challenge in September 2017 and was awarded $1MM for their business. The team is now based in Karachi, Pakistan where they are empowering women through affordable, reliable and safe transportation!
