Maruti Suzuki Driving School (Machino) and inDrive, a smart mobility app based in California, have teamed up to host a safety education event in Kolkata. Through the SafeDrive with inDrive campaign, drivers will learn how to make sure their passengers are comfortable and safe.

To ensure that every decision users make with inDrive is safe and secure, this is in addition to inDrive‘s continuing educational program for drivers, which strengthens their safety training and covers both road safety and the safety of women.

It also addresses issues like the ban on discrimination, how to make travelers more comfortable, and how to make the most of all the safety features in case you need help while traveling (such as the Shield icon, which lets you call emergency services).

The safety training offered by inDrives is a 360-degree program that, among other things, gives drivers effective communication techniques and tactics to stop acts of aggression or harassment.

Women feel uneasy in taxis when the driver plays loud music, is disheveled, or travels at a fast speed, according to data from the platform. They also feel uneasy when the driver compliments them or glances at them in the rearview mirror. To guarantee that all of their passengers feel secure and at ease, the SafeDrive with inDrive campaign also tackles these concerns with their driver partners.

InDrive works to stay current with cutting-edge technology in tandem with the SafeDrive campaign to support and safeguard all of its users. The present safety measures of inDrive consist of:
• Driver verification: All drivers are required to have their documents and photos verified.
• Select your passenger: Drivers can select passengers using inDrive by considering their routes, price offers, and profiles. (Passengers may select drivers based on comparable standards.)
• Safety button: By touching the Shield button on the inDrive app, users can access safety tips while traveling. A full screen that lists each tip is displayed.
• In the event of an emergency, users can instantly contact the police or an ambulance by clicking the shield icon on the main screen.

Various technologies are available in inDrive, ranging from direct help to trip sharing in progress. The security suite has evolved to meet the specific needs of its consumers. For this reason, this security suite is unique to India, a significant market for the business.
