4. Overview
Problem:
India is on the verge of a huge pollution crisis that it has no clue on how to solve.
Any solution which can reduce the numberof vehicles being added on the road on
a daily basis is a huge pain reliever for the nation and its administration besides the
people themselves.
Solution at hand:
âGet A Driveâ intends to reduce the dependency on owning cars and intends to give
its patrons the option of sharing cars to those who need it when they need it and get
compensated for the time it is being shared on the platform. Thereby reducing the
number of additional vehicles being added onto the road every day.
Conversely people who need cars only for a short period of time can stay EMI free
and use different cars at different times based on the need and their budget.

Unlock the inventory available all around us. Cars that are standing idle
in car parks, offices,on the road sides etc. and are used less than 90% of
their entire lifetime.
