About this app

SAKHI — By Her, For Her
There’s a moment many women in India know well. You book a ride, see a male driver assigned, and instantly grip your phone tighter, share your live location, and track every turn. That quiet anxiety is exactly what Sakhi was built to end.
Sakhi is India’s first women-only, multi-modal ride-hailing platform designed to make every journey safe, comfortable, and empowering. Every driver is a verified, trained, background-checked woman. Every passenger is a woman. Safety is not a feature here — it is the foundation.
The Problem
Women often face an unfair choice between affordability and safety. Bike taxis may be cheaper and faster, but riding closely behind a male stranger can feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Autos often feel slightly safer but cost more, forcing women to pay a “safety tax” every month just to feel secure.
Even then, concerns remain — wrong routes, harassment, uncomfortable interactions, and constant anxiety during rides. Existing platforms offer limited women-only options, but these are often temporary or city-specific. Sakhi was created as a complete solution.
What is Sakhi?
Sakhi is a 100% women-driven mobility ecosystem where every bike, auto, and cab is operated by a female driver, called a Sakhi Captain.
Every Captain goes through:
• Background verification
• Professional driver training
• Safety onboarding
• Quality checks before accepting rides
We partner with women-focused driving schools to build a strong network of confident women drivers.
How Sakhi Works
Booking is quick and simple.
Choose your destination, select your ride type:
• Bike – for quick solo rides
• Auto – for regular daily travel
• Cab – for longer or comfortable trips
Track your ride in real time and travel confidently.
Safety Pass Subscription
For women with regular commutes, Sakhi offers a Safety Pass subscription with:
• Fixed fares

• No surge pricing
