Project Summary / Description:

Have you ever felt the dread of being late to the airport and missing a flight, or the frustration when you show up early only to have your plane late for you? Have you ever reorganized your day around a bus schedule? Have you put your safety at risk by finishing a 12 hour work day with a 3 hour drive home? 400 thousand people do this every single week as they commute 2-4 hours between nearby major cities for work. We created ElecTrip to revolutionize travel and encourage EV adoption.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

When the company first started, Sashi Dasika and Mandeep Patel drove the vehicles on Uber after city to city rides in order to fund business growth. They realized how difficult it was to be an Uber driver, and how unfair the compensation was. When we launched ElecTrip, we wanted to reward drivers who went the extra mile with fair wages. To that end, we provide significant bonuses for drivers who are complemented by the client. This means our drivers make roughly 15% more than the national average wage of drivers. While our current core team is 100% Asian and male, we recognize the importance of a diverse leadership team and are recruiting at the moment. Women control over $20 trillion in global spending, and we‚ d like to add a product specialist that truly understands the experience of women and how it influences buying decisions. We‚ ve also worked with student marketing teams led by women through the American Marketing Association. Our goal was to help women work with companies that are at the intersection of technology and service.
