On World Driver's Day, NueGo, India's leading intercity electric bus brand by GreenCell Mobility, salutes the invaluable contributions of drivers who form the backbone of the country's mobility sector. This year, NueGo shines a spotlight on women Coach Captains (drivers) who are breaking barriers and steering the future of inclusive and sustainable transport.
With multiple women Coach Captains currently operating in Delhi, NueGo is among the first intercity bus operators in India to employ women drivers of premium electric coaches. These pioneers are rewriting stereotypes in a male-dominated industry and exemplify how women can lead from the front in roles traditionally reserved for men.
NueGo is championing a women-first approach in intercity mobility by empowering women Coach Captains—pioneers who are the first to drive premium electric buses on key Delhi routes. The company provides specialized EV training, mentorship, and passenger handling skills, while ensuring dignified work environments with modern amenities and equal opportunities. Strengthening its leadership in passenger safety, NueGo also offers a 24x7 women's helpline (1800 267 3366), PINK reserved seating, and advanced onboard features including GPS live tracking, CCTV surveillance, and driver breath-analyser tests.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Devndra Chawla, MD & CEO, GreenCell Mobility & NueGo, stated, "On World Driver's Day, we take pride in celebrating our women Coach Captains who are breaking stereotypes in a traditionally male-dominated role. Their courage, skill, and professionalism not only enhance the travel experience but also embody our commitment to inclusivity, safety, and empowerment. For us, enabling women to take the wheel is not just progress—it is essential to building a more equitable and sustainable future for mobility in India"
Ensuring safe travel for women and fostering gender equity in employment remain pressing needs in India's transportation ecosystem. With its fleet operating across 150+ cities, NueGo is positioning itself as a trailblazer by simultaneously addressing two critical gaps—passenger safety and women's inclusion in mobility jobs.
By celebrating drivers and empowering women behind the wheel, NueGo is not only reshaping intercity travel but also paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future for India's mobility sector.
