Chennai, 10th January , 2018: The driver partners of Porter, India’s leading app-enabled intra-city logistics startup, stepped into the spotlight, with the company rewarding top performers at a glittering event at GS Mahal, Ayanavaram, Chennai, on Sunday, January 7, 2018. Over 100 driver partners with their families attended the event.
The partners, who earned the highest reward points, were given prizes ranging from home appliances to Gold coins and the top performer went home with the bumper prize of Yamaha Fascino scooter.
Similar events will follow in all the major cities where Porter operates including Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi. A total of 500+ top performing partners from Porter network across Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai, will be rewarded during the course of the campaign.
Porter started the scheme in June 2017 to incentivise partners to provide quality service to customers. “The two-fold objective of this campaign was to ensure that our customers are happy with our superior service and to acknowledge and reward our driver partners who are consistently doing good work. We are constantly striving to create opportunities that help our driver partners to go beyond their normal earning that would benefit them and their families,” said Mr Pranav Goel, Porter CEO and Co-founder.
“Porter is constantly striving to create opportunities that benefit our driver partners. We want to empower more individuals and create an ecosystem that will help create new business owners,” Mr Goel added. For the app users this means more mileage for their money.
The success of Nandagopal, one of the driver partners of Porter, is a testimony to Porter’s empowering idea. Says Nandagopal: “I started my career as a driver. Seeing an opportunity to increase my earnings, I bought a Tata Ace on loan and signed up with Porter a year back. It’s been a smooth journey with Porter.” Nandagopal also earned Rs 10,000 by referring his friends and family to the platform.
“I’m getting at least 3 trips on a daily basis and earning up to Rs 2000,” said Das, who won the Gold coin at Porter’s mega event.
The winner of the Mega Bumper Prize ‘Yamaha Scooter’, Karthikeyan spoke about his memorable trip with Porter. “I bought a Tata Ace, but didn’t get enough trips from the market then. I came to know about Porter and signed up. I gave my best service to the customers and because of that, I have got good ratings from them. They have helped me win the mega prize. Thank you,” he said.
