Kaushal:Thanks for having me, Spiffy!Did you know that, in India, 5 million people are displaced every year due to disasters, and an additional 19,000 people are displaced due to violent conflict? Globally, about 86.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide every year and have to face the realities that deny them a dignified life and fulfillment of their opportunities.

Su: Dollaride is the app-based rideshare option for the millions of Americans who aren’t adequately served by public transit, and find taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts too costly for their daily needs. Even in NYC, a city with one of the world’s biggest transit systems, over 600,000 people live in “transit deserts” and have to spend hours each day commuting to work. Since the 1980s, cash-based, micro-transit systems of dollar vans have been easing the commuting pain for disenfranchised people. Dollaride is digitizing and mobilizing these networks, helping local drivers grow their ridership, and creating an affordable solution with reliable routes for riders. The company's mission is to make public transit accessible to everyone, everywhere.
