Rodbez: Revolutionizing Rural Transportation in Bihar - A Journey from Fields to Fame

Imagine serene landscapes of Bihar transforming with the advent of innovation. That’s where Rodbez enters, co-founded by the visionary duo, Dilkhush Kumar and Siddharth Shankar Jha. Far more than a mere ride-hailing service, Rodbez is redefining affordable and accessible travel in India’s rural heartlands, making it a beacon of progress in regions often left off the conventional map.

Rodbez isn’t just breaking new ground; it’s revolutionizing the way rural travel operates. With its unique model, travelers pay for just one leg of their journey, enabling drivers to earn on return trips – a concept that not only optimizes earnings but also ensures that rural mobility is smoother and more sustainable.

The pitch of Rodbez on Shark Tank India unveiled the innovative ‘Captain’ model, drawing inspiration from OYO. It’s not merely about connectivity; it’s about ensuring stable incomes for drivers and offering peace of mind to passengers with guarantees like flight miss refunds. Rodbez isn’t just changing paths; it’s transforming the ethos of rural commuting.

Facing the sharks, Rodbez sought ₹50 lakhs for a 5% stake, impressing with its forward-thinking app and user-centric service. Despite the challenges inherent in the transport sector, Vineeta Singh and Ritesh Agarwal spotted untapped potential, deciding to back Rodbez with a combined investment that blends equity with a visionary future.

With this new investment, Rodbez plans to scale its operations, aiming for 2,000 daily rides. Since its inception in July 2022, and with initial support from Mithila Angel Network, Rodbez’s journey has been one of relentless ambition and innovation.

As Rodbez navigates the rural landscapes of Bihar, it’s not merely offering rides; it’s penning a success story of how local ingenuity and support can uplift communities. Rodbez’s tale is one of transforming rural transit and achieving recognition on Shark Tank India, marking a significant leap in reimagining mobility in India’s rural expanses.
