This startup is working on solving the challenges faced by the highly unorganized transport industry

Did you know? Transport Industry that largely supports India’s economy is also a major source of employment to more than 25 million people. People have food on their plate and shops have all the essential necessities owing to the Transport Industry. Yet, it is disturbing to see the industry dwindling at the mercy of a highly unorganized infrastructure.

Let us introduce to you a startup from Ahmedabad, Bhuvan Care Services Pvt. Ltd. which is working on providing effective and sustaining solutions to the challenges faced by this highly unorganized transport industry. To know more about the startup, we recently caught up with its Chief Credibility Officer, Divyang Adawadkar.

MV: Tell us a bit about your company?

Divyang: It is a social startup working for betterment of life of marginalized communities. The company’s first product is Driver Bandhu. Driver Bandhu strongly believes that the Indian Economy is standing on its feet solely because of the Drivers and the Enterprises taking care of these drivers. A mere digital storehouse of driver database will not do justice to the comprehensive paperwork hassle an Enterprise needs to take care of on a daily basis.

He particularly mentioned that, “Driver Bandhu is an application that not just stores Drivers’ data in one place but also tracks & manages drivers’ trips and aids in digital documentation of all relevant documents like licenses, Identity Cards, PUCs, RCs, etc. It also goes another few steps ahead by helping Enterprises manage their day to day expenses in an organized and scientific manner.”

Driver Bandhu cares. For the country. For the Enterprises. For the drivers. Which is why Driver Bandhu has come up with a systemic solution that will help in making the Transport Industry efficient, reliable and cost-effective. One step at a time.

MV: How did you come up with this idea and why this name?

Divyang: We have closely seen the life of marginalized communities people and also witnessed how the entire family shatters when anything happens to the sole earning person. This has generated the insight to do something for them. The idea was conceived by one of the Directors Mr. Bhuvaneshwar Yadav, so company was named on him i.e. Bhuvan Care Services Pvt. Ltd. and our tagline is “Care is above all”.

Care is a passion of Divya Kumar (another key team member) and I as well, so we have also joined hands for this noble cause. Since our first product is specially designed for professional or employed Drivers, so it is named as a Driver Bandhu (A close friend of Driver) and product tagline is “Har mod ka saathi” meaning we are there with you at each and every problem of your life.

MV: Who is your target audience and how do you reach them?

Divyang: Our target audience is all marginalized communities people across India. We have developed a mobile application for seamless delivery of our services. We are available on all major social media platforms.

MV: What is your business model? Any stats that you would like to share?

Divyang: Our business model is to connect all stakeholders and bring them to a common platform for seamless services.

MV: How difficult was it for you to get started?

Divyang: It was really very difficult to make people believe especially when you are working for a cause. And trust me people who have believed in us will see a different India soon, since our product will change life of millions of people.

Divyang Adawadkar (Chief Credibility Officer)

Divyang is a business management graduate and has an entrepreneurial acumen of around ten years. “Care” is his passion, be it for any human being or for animals and that’s what reflects in all his ventures starting from Pet Inn to Driver Bandhu. Divyang has closely seen the plight of a Driver’s life that is dotted with no social standing, no social security, no support system and exploitation. His vision is to create a complete social security solution for the unorganized sectors and bringing smile on millions of faces.

Bhuvaneshwar Yadav (Chief Caring Officer)

After graduating in Law from Delhi University, Bhuvaneshwar Yadav spent his time observing and studying various government programmes available for people from economically backward classes. He felt there are a lot of lacunae within the system which is preventing the reach of government programme and scheme in reaching the intended user. Something shifted in his conscience and he decided to take a step further by creating a digital platform that will help bridge the gap between the common man and their rightful government schemes and benefits.

Sanjay Kumar (Chief Strategy Officer)

Sanjay belongs to the IT capital of the nation having more than a decade of professional work experience in cyber Security. His expertise lies in the domain of Identity and Access Management. He has been facilitator and builder of excellent technology management and product development in both start up and scaled growth stages. His target is to utilize his wide global work experience and witness the change.

MV: What’s your vision for the company?

Divyang: To create a world where drivers are living dignified and Socio-economically empowered lives employed in a thriving and streamlined Transport –Logistics Industry. To build the best and most effective platform that will facilitate more and more drivers to join the workforce and aide all our stakeholders in smooth operations of their business.

MV: Who are your potential competitors and how do you differentiate your company from them?

Divyang: So far we have not witnessed anyone working in the same area. But we welcome the competition, since it will change the life of millions of people.

MV: How many hours do you work in day? What about your personal life?

Divyang: I work daily for more than 15 hours. I live in a family where values are ranked top. I am happily married and blessed with a baby girl. My wife has always been very supportive. She always asks me to give at most priority to Driver Bandhu, even in the times when she needed me the most. She also helps me with the office work, whatever she can. Divya Kumar has two precious kids to be with. Managing domestic front and professional front are two extreme things, but she has proven her multitasking abilities. I am amazed with her abilities to do so.

MV: Any advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?

Divyang: An entrepreneur is someone who has a vision for something and a desire to create it. Keep your vision clear at all times.

MV: Any future plans related to your company that you would want to share?

Divyang: Our future plan is to provide complete social security to all marginalized communities.
