Driving change. Transforming India.

One day I became curious about the quality of the preschool my maid’s child attended. I walked in and saw thirty kids of various ages, cleaning and loitering around a dilapidated building, while my own two-year-old was learning how to read in a good preschool. This experience shook me and I knew instantly that this was going to be my life's work: bringing equity in education to all kids in India.

We made a list of the things we all do from the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep, as well as the problems we face every day. That’s when the idea of private transport emerged. Ride sharing and cab booking existed only in big cities, and not for the masses in smaller cities. We started thinking about the common Indian man’s vehicle — that’s how we arrived at the idea of two-wheeler ride sharing.

When you accept your reality, your mindset shifts from focusing on problems, to developing solutions. Simply by accepting what is before us we can generate optimism and meet the future with less anxiety.

Growing up, I belonged to the ‘lower middle-class’ where having a car and a house of your own was a luxury. I saw my dad emerge from poverty into the rising middle-class fabric of India. Seeing that story unfold in front of me as a child forged a strong sense of optimism in me, my most defining trait, both personally and professionally.

I still remember the sacrifices my parents made just to pay for my tuition fees and one train ticket to Delhi. My parents said, ‘All we can give you is education.’ That’s all that anyone needs in order to bring generational change to their circumstances.

Something I learned from my father is that it's not important to be always right, but it is important to always keep moving. That’s now our core obsession in Bijnis, to always keep moving towards building an even better platform for factories.

I spent some time on farms. When I was so close to the problem it was almost impossible not to notice the massive gaps in the market. From the farmers, to the sellers, to the re-sellers to the customers. No one was 100% satisfied. I just knew it was a problem worth solving. A problem worth my time. That’s how Otipy was born —- from farm to fork. It’s fast, it’s fresh, it’s affordable and it’s conscious.
