The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has partnered with Rapido, India’s largest bike taxi aggregator, to skill and induct riders into the gig economy through formal training and employment linkages.
The training programme will assist riders in fulfilling the eligibility requirements stipulated in the Maharashtra government’s guidelines for running bike taxis under its new regulatory policy.
Under the agreement inked on April 22, NSDC will select and mobilise candidates to undergo training, while Rapido will give access to two-wheelers and deploy trained riders through its mobile application-based platform. Along with training and certification, NSDC will facilitate placement by connecting trainees from its ecosystem to Rapido’s platform.
