CarTrade Tech’s philanthropic arm, known as the CarTrade Foundation, has introduced its flagship initiative, ‘DriveASmile,’ in celebration of Dussehra. The primary goal of this initiative is to make a meaningful and enduring societal impact within India’s transportation industry.
As the leading multi-channel automotive platform in India, CarTrade Tech is fully devoted to fostering innovation and social transformation in the automotive sector through this new undertaking.
DriveASmile is a digital platform that connects various stakeholders in the transportation industry, such as taxi drivers, food delivery personnel, auto factory workers, gas station employees, automotive dealership staff, compassionate donors, and donor organizations. This platform offers a transparent means for donors to provide assistance to those who are experiencing financial difficulties within the transportation sector.
At present, two programs are operational on the platform: support for the education and health of car dealership employees and educational support for families in the transport industry.
Expressing his thoughts on the matter, Vinay Sanghi, Chairman and Founder of CarTrade Tech, remarked, “In our opinion, the path to business success should involve a commitment to giving back to the communities that support our enterprise. The individuals who play a role in the intricate value chain of the mobility and automotive sector are not just essential to our operations; they are an integral part of our journey. Through DriveASmile, a digital marketplace that links donors with verified recipients, we are steadfastly committed to offering support to the hardworking workforce of the mobility sector and standing by them during their times of need. This is not merely a program; it’s a living testament to our principles of compassion and solidarity. We take pride in launching ‘DriveASmile’ on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, symbolizing our dedication to promoting positive social change within the mobility sector.”
