Rahi Ride built for Indian roads
Google Maps tells you how to get there. Rahi tells you everything else: whether your fuel will last, where to stop, what the trip will cost, and where everyone in your group is.

Navigation is solved. Journey logistics are not.
A rider going from Anantapur to Hyderabad has to keep the whole trip in their head while wearing a helmet: Will my fuel last to the next pump? Where is the next pump? Where do I stop for breakfast? What will this trip cost? Where's a mechanic if something breaks?
Today that means four or five apps that don't know about each other. Rahi puts it all in one plan, then rides with you.
Fuel stops placed from your bike's real mileage, learned from the refuels you log, not the brochure figure.
Rain shown at the kilometre it reaches you, not over the city you left in the morning.
One code, one map. Everyone on the ride sees who's ahead and behind, and sharing stops when the ride ends.
Talk to your riders where there's no mobile signal.
Temples, forts, viewpoints and dhabas along your road, with the detour shown honestly.
RC, insurance and PUC at hand for check posts, with expiry reminders.
Three decisions that shape the product
- Own the map data. Petrol pumps, mechanics and dhabas come from Rahi's own database built from OpenStreetMap, instead of paying a maps API for every search. That keeps the app affordable to run.
- Navigation inside the app. Turn-by-turn directions with voice, plus fuel and break stops counted down alongside the next turn.
- Never show data it can't verify. "Hours unknown" is a valid answer. A rider who trusts a wrong detail once won't trust the app again.
Built with React Native (Expo), Firebase and OpenStreetMap data. Android first, then iOS.
