World Entrepreneurship Day: 3 advantages of entrepreneurship in mobility or delivery apps like inDrive
April 16th is World Entrepreneurship Day! Here’s to all the independent souls out there who are carving their own path and getting their hustle on: it takes courage, determination and drive.
In recent years, the rise of the Internet and devices such as smartphones have opened up new opportunities for people going it alone. inDrive is one example of this: our platform enables drivers in an increasing number of countries to establish their own businesses, earn income and control their own working day. To each of the drivers using our platform, we salute you!
Here are three advantages that the rise of app-based mobility services offer the people who work through them:
1. It’s easy to get started
Offering one of these services is simple. All a would-be driver needs to do is register on the app, submit the required documents for verification, get verified, and voila: you’re ready to hustle. Hello new business! (Obviously, this assumes that you have a driver’s license and a roadworthy vehicle ready to roll.)
2. So many options
Mobility applications offer a wide range of possible businesses. Depending on what kind of vehicle drivers have, they can offer ride-hailing services; longer intercity trips; courier delivery (these may even be on foot, by bicycle or motorbike); or freight services, helping individuals or businesses to transport goods.
3. Offers more flexibility than a yoga class
For many of the people who work through mobility apps, one of the primary attractions is the flexibility they offer. Drivers can choose when to work, and if they’re using inDrive, they can also choose which jobs they accept. This makes it easy to work around other priorities – family, studies, or other jobs – and to only opt for those jobs that feel safe and financially worthwhile.
Mobility and delivery applications offer a whole new horizon of opportunities for those seeking flexibility, autonomy and income. With technology as an ally and an innovative mindset, entrepreneurs can chart their own path to success.
Happy World Entrepreneurship Day!
