A Movement That Begins on the Streets of Bengaluru! Every poster we share carries a message. Every driver we meet represents a change. Every conversation brings us one step closer to a fairer mobility ecosystem. At NAGARA, we believe that technology should make travel fair, transparent, and accessible for everyone. No dynamic fares. Just government-approved meter fares. Fair Fares. Honest Rides. Always.

NAGARA is more than just an app. It is a movement to bring fare fairness and service reliability to digital ride-hailing. 💚 Government-approved meter fares 🤝 Fairness for commuters and drivers Built on Prajakeeya principles, NAGARA believes that our services should be judged by performance alone. 🙏 Thank you,@nimmaupendra Sir, for your valuable support and encouragement! We seek the support of every Bengaluru citizen. All it takes is to search for your next ride on NAGARA. We will continue working hard to bring more professional drivers online. And yes, you can even street-hail a NAGARA ride! Let’s support fair fares. Let’s support our drivers.

With Nagara, your fare is predictable and transparent. 💚 As your ride moves… the meter stays right in front of you. ✅ No surge pricing ✅ No extra charges ✅ Just the meter fare 💚 NAGARA – Fair Fares. Transparent Rides. #Nagara #NagaraMeterAutoTaxi #Bengaluru #NoSurgePricing #MeterFare

There is.....there are 5 public transport projects slated to help people move through hebbal currently. 3 metro projects : red, blue and orange line. 2 suburban rail projects : coridors 2 and 4. These are the kind of projects that will make a difference. Not this stupid tunnel.

At @deardk_blr we're protesting today at 3 locations with 1000s of people joining for unscientific elevated corridors and tunnel roads. We need BMLTA, planned infra and public transport. xitter.cf/ChristinMP_/status/210…

Bengaluru citizens under the banner of @deardk_blr will form human chains on Oct 11 at 11am at Indiranagar SV Metro-KFC Signal & Jayanagar Rose Garden Park to oppose B-SMILE's elevated corridor projects. They demand tender cancellation, sustainable mobility funding & B-SMILE’s replacement with BMLTA, citing tree loss, congestion & park destruction.

I’m trying, but no one accepted my ride! - Have you ever felt this way while trying to book an auto or taxi on NAGARA? If yes, we want to share why this is happening and what we’re doing to solve it. Dear Bengaluru, Some of you have successfully booked rides on NAGARA and experienced our service. Some of you have tried multiple times but couldn’t find a driver. We understand your frustration, and we want to be transparent about why this is happening. The problem is a classic chicken-and-egg situation. We onboard drivers onto the NAGARA platform, but many initially stay active for only a few days. If they don’t receive enough ride requests, they stop opening the app. Meanwhile, we promote NAGARA through communities, word of mouth, and our social media channels. When this creates a buzz and customers start booking, there aren’t always enough drivers online to fulfil those requests. By the time we spread the message to more drivers that rides are coming in, some customers have already become frustrated and stopped trying. We realised that to solve this problem, we need to bring both sides together at the same time. 🚀 Our plan to break this cycle We’re actively reaching out to our driver community and encouraging them to stay online, with a clear message: From October 13 onwards, we want more drivers to be active and ready to serve Bengaluru. The response has been encouraging! More than 1,000 drivers have already started coming online, and we’re working towards having 2,000+ professional auto and taxi drivers active on NAGARA. This is an important step towards making rides more accessible and reliable for our customers. 💚 Dear Bengaluru, we need your support! NAGARA is built around a simple idea: supporting professional drivers while helping commuters access auto and taxi rides at government-approved meter fares. We know we still have work to do to improve ride availability. We’re working on it, and we need your participation to make this movement successful. 🙏 The next time you need an auto or taxi, please give NAGARA a try. If you receive a ride, share your experience with your friends, family, apartment communities, and colleagues. Every successful ride helps build confidence among both customers and drivers. The more customers book, the more opportunities drivers see. The more drivers stay online, the better the experience becomes for customers. Let's build Bengaluru's meter-fare mobility ecosystem together. One ride at a time.

I spoke about the purpose/restructuring education in the time of AI. This was a year ago, to a room full of teachers. This was in Kannada (my mother tongue). Maybe of interest to my Kannada friends here.

#DearDKFlyoverYaake Join our human chain on 100 Ft Road Indiranagara protesting against the upcoming Elevated Corridors at 11 AM on October 11th!
Do you see the R.V Road green cover on the right side of the video ? That is where B-SMILE wants to build a down ramp for yet another unwanted unscientific elevated corridor. We must save Bengaluru from the clutches of B-SMILE.
