Saera Auto and Mayru aim to capitalize on the increasing demand for small-size and sustainable transportation by expanding Porter’s user base. The rising demand for quick delivery services in the Bengaluru has led the companies to come together to scale up operations by potentially expanding from the initial fleet of 500 to 1,000 vehicles per month in each city. Furthermore, it will enhance Porter’s offerings by incorporating EVs into its fleet and benefit both companies.
The collaboration is expected to create job opportunities for drivers and logistics professionals with a guaranteed minimum daily income of Rs 1,100, with the potential to earn up to Rs 4,000 per day as Porter riders using Mayuri e-Carts.
