Hi, I’m Pranav Gupta and I have developed RideFine, a carpooling app for smartphones, to provide a platform to environmentally and socially responsible people pan-India to conserve fuel, reduce traffic congestion and pollution and to save on the cost of commuting, simply by carpooling in a reliable and safe manner.

The application is up and running – I have started with a pilot in Mumbai city and plan to gradually expand this service across India. My own funds have been utilized to develop the application, get a payment gateway, a website, listing on iOs and Google Play and on testing the application for public release. This was the first phase, which has taken off successfully. We have a dedicated team of core developers, who are continuously improving on the performance of the application, to make it as real time as possible.

The second phase over this year is going to focus on:

1. Increasing the user bandwidth on the website and application
2. Developing the database of user profiles
3. Improving the look and feel and overall experience of the website
4. Investing in a strong marketing plan to establishing the brand, and increase outreach
5. Introducing new features such as “Register your car for rentals”
6. Expanding to at least 2 new cities

We need funds to kickstart the second phase and so we are asking you, our potential users, to help us expand. The funds will be spent on achieving the deliverables of the second phase and we promise to keep you updated.

We are also open to feedback. Please let us know what you think about the application overall and how we can improve on providing you a better experience.
