How the app works
Once the app is installed in a user's phone, users can hail an auto rickshaw, order fruits & vegetables and meals through the app. The user can choose to either pay in cash or go cashless via wallets (Paytm, Mobikwik or Freecharge). The auto arrives at the required pick-up point and drops the user wherever required. On ride completion, a feedback is expected on the feedback form displayed on the app.
