BluSmart plans to increase the number of women driver-partners to 500 in one year, it added.

The women driver-partners are currently on board to drive from BluSmart hub at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. The company will be offering these partners 8-hourly leases only during the daytime to ensure their safety.
