inDrive Partners with Shell and Muawin to Provide Fuel Management Solutions

Karachi, December 22, 2022 (PPI-OT):inDrive, Shell, and Muawin have collaborated to deliver fuel management solutions to inDrive champs. The collaboration will provide a dynamic fuel accessibility solution and special training to inDrive’s champs (drivers) with exclusively designed courses that will help them improve their services and earn more with better ratings.

Upon receiving a personalized Shell Fleet Card, inDrive champs will get access to fuel financing from Muawin to fulfill their mobility needs at Shell. Through tech-enabled financing, inDrive Champs can obtain fuel on credit at numerous Shell retail stations across the city, and thus be able to complete more rides and grow their income.

Speaking on the development, Afanasiy Petrov, Business Development Manager for inDrive in South Asia, stated, “We see and understand that the availability of fuel is a crucial issue for drivers, and any changes in this market directly affect their well-being, income level, and activity.”

“In general, this is true for the whole nation since fuel is the engine of the economy and its future development. On this basis, we decided to enter a partnership with Shell and Muawin to provide our drivers with the opportunity to have access to fuel, which will allow them to have greater earnings and improve their quality of life. Collaborations such as this uphold our mission to challenge injustice worldwide,” he added.

Syed Saad, District Sales Manager for Shell Pakistan, commented, “With the combined diverse technological expertise of Shell, InDrive and Muawin, we are in a position to empower service providers by facilitating them with a fuel management solution adapted to their needs. We look forward to growing this collaboration further to power progress in Pakistan.”

Hashim Ali, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, said, “At a time when our fellow Pakistanis are facing serious economic hardships, Muawin’s Fuel Financing product ‘Sahulat’ has truly become a game changer for the nation’s ride-hailing sector.”

“Our collaboration with inDrive and Shell will further enable us to massively enhance the scope of our impact – empowering more drivers with financial independence and gearing them through our partnership towards growth and success,” he added.
