Rapido, India’s largest ride-sharing platform and a leading job generator, has announced a partnership with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to provide travelers with inexpensive and easy commute solutions at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (NSCBI Airport).

The service was officially inaugurated by Shri Snehasis Chakraborty, Cabinet Minister, Department of Transport, Government of West Bengal, in the presence of Dr. Saumitra Mohan, Secretary of Transport, Government of West Bengal.

This agreement brings Rapido’s lowest-cost cabs to the airport, with ambitions to expand such services to ten other airports by March 25.

Rapido will establish dedicated cab service zones at Kolkata Airport, allowing passengers to conveniently obtain safe, dependable, and affordable trips via Rapido’s platform. This effort offers a seamless, economical journey from the airport to numerous destinations throughout the city, increasing passenger convenience from the minute they exit the terminal.

Shri Snehasis Chakraborty, Cabinet Minister, Department of Transport, Government of West Bengal, said, “With the launch of this service at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, we are not only providing cost-effective travel solutions but also creating valuable employment opportunities for our local drivers. The technology-driven approach is consistent with our objective of making West Bengal a leader in smart mobility, and we believe this effort will establish new standards”.

Beyond providing affordable rides, the establishment of these airport zones will offer new work possibilities for local drivers, reinforcing Rapido’s commitment to becoming a major job generator in the gig economy.
