While talking to GNT Digital, Dilkhush said that graduates from prestigious institutions like IIT Guwahati were hired to work in Rodbez and they also supported his vision. He also claimed that some students from IIM have also joined his startup on a part-time basis.
Dilkhush learnt to drive from his father, who was a bus driver. He only studied till Class 12 because of lack of money and started driving to earn money.
He actually started Rodbez with just a second-hand Tata Nano. But in 6-7 months after starting Rodbez, Dilkhush and his team were able to raise funds worth Rs 4 crore. Right now, the company is providing service from Patna to every village in Bihar in the first phase. In the second phase, it will connect city to city. Their vision is to connect every village of Bihar with a taxi. Later, they plan to expand the services outside Bihar as well.
The best part about Rodbez is the remuneration the startup provides to drivers. Dilkhush understands the lives of the drivers and the company pays around Rs 55,000 to 60,000 per month to tyhem.
