Speaking about the initiative, Arvind Vadera, CEO of Sakha Consulting Wings Pvt Ltd told ANI, "On this concept, we have been working for last 10 years with the name of Sakha cabs, all the women drivers have been trained by our own organisation (Azad foundation). We trained them in driving, self-defence, personality development and English speaking for eight months. Once they completed their training, we gave them employment." He said that 30 to 40 rides are being given by them on a daily basis. Expressing happiness on being part of such a wonderful initiative, Pinki, a woman driver said, "I love driving.
