Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah engaged in a conversation with drivers associated with the new cooperative ride-hailing platform, Bharat Taxi, addressing their concerns and encouraging patience through initial difficulties. He reassured the drivers, including women participants, that the early challenges are natural when launching a new system, comparing the experience to common issues faced when moving into a new home, which typically resolve within a month.

During the 40-minute discussion, drivers shared their issues and asked questions about the platform, reflecting a proactive engagement from the government. Amit Shah emphasized that the platform would ultimately benefit the drivers and reassured them that although initial technical difficulties are expected, they will soon be addressed, allowing the system to operate smoothly.

This initiative aligns with the government's broader push to enhance cooperative models in various sectors, reflecting an increasing interest in improving livelihoods through technology-enabled platforms. As this ride-hailing service is still in its infancy, the support from government officials like Amit Shah highlights the significance of collaboration between the government and cooperative initiatives in ensuring the success of such platforms.
