The Conversation started by stating the basic problems of public transportation in India. We have a brainstorming session in which we have discussed, how can we find a solution that is beneficial for both vehicle owners and the passengers. It is a general fact that 980 people in a sample size of 1000 in India do not have access to personal transport. By this IOT for cars Just ride have created a bridge between the car owners and passengers. JustRide has provided a platform to the car owners where they could monetise their vehicle when not in use, plus it also gives an experience of car ownership to the people who rent them. JustRide helps the car owners to lease their vehicle with a guarantee of substantial returns.

3. EngineerBabu –

The R&D team at EngineerBabu did a small research, in which they compared the model of JustRide with the existing companies doing the same work. The research team came up with the flaws of existing models and implemented the rectifications in JustRide App . The Design team at EngineerBabu have come up with the swift and attractive interface. This interface is very light and user-friendly.
While App Development we considered all standards in mind and provided scalable and fast solution.
