Speaking to carandbike, spokesperson from the company said, "The unique driving score that is developed while using the HumSafer app will enable employers and insurance companies to value drivers' skills higher and provide proper compensation for the risks involved in their line of work. In the next five years, we will bring 6 lakh drivers under the HumSafer umbrella and provide a sense of community and support to this highly marginalized sector. Our goal is to bring the instances of road accidents to zero. Industries and enterprises that have the same goal in mind are more than welcome to use our technology and be part of the enormous change that logistics is undergoing."
