Sahakar Taxi Invites Applications for Managing Director / CEO Role

Sahakar Taxi, India’s first cooperative taxi service, is stepping into a new phase of growth. Built on the idea of “drivers first, fair rides for all,” Sahakar Taxi gives passengers safe and affordable rides, while drivers take home 100% of their fare with no hidden charges. This model is not just about transport. It is about fairness, dignity, and building a system where drivers and customers both win.

To lead this journey, Sahakar Taxi is now inviting applications for the position of Managing Director / CEO. This is a rare opportunity to guide India’s first large-scale, driver-owned ride-hailing service and set the direction for the future of urban mobility.

The Role at a Glance

The Managing Director will be based in New Delhi and will bring at least 20 years of experience, with at least 5 years in the mobility sector. The role is designed for a leader who can combine strategy with action. The person selected will build systems, ensure operational excellence, and create services that touch millions of lives across India.

You will be at the center of shaping a cooperative model that is very different from private platforms. This role calls for someone who can turn vision into reality, balance multiple stakeholders, and keep drivers and customers at the heart of every decision.

What You Will Lead

The Managing Director will guide operations, finance, marketing, and technology for Sahakar Taxi. This means:

• Running day-to-day business operations across fleet, safety, supply chain, HR, finance, and administration.
• Working with technology partners to deliver a powerful ride-hailing app that serves the entire country.
• Taking full ownership of financial performance and ensuring growth that is profitable and sustainable.
• Building a strong leadership team and mentoring future leaders inside the organization.
• Representing Sahakar Taxi with government bodies, investors, and partner organizations.
• Driving green mobility initiatives that support sustainability and ESG goals.

This is not just a position. It is a mission-driven leadership role where every decision will have a direct impact on thousands of drivers and millions of passengers.

Skills and Qualifications

We are looking for someone with:

• A degree in Engineering (B.Tech/M.Tech) plus a full-time MBA/PGDM/Executive MBA.
• Proven leadership experience in large-scale operations, preferably in transportation, automotive, engineering, or logistics.
• Strong knowledge of the Indian mobility sector and experience in building or transforming businesses.
• Excellent decision-making skills, financial management expertise, and a record of leading high-performing teams.
• Ability to work with government, regulators, and industry leaders to shape the future of mobility.

The maximum age limit is 55 years as of 31 July 2025, though exceptions may be considered for outstanding candidates. The appointment will be on a fixed-term basis for three years, extendable by two more years depending on performance.

Why Join Sahakar Taxi

Sahakar Taxi is more than a ride-hailing service. It is a cooperative movement backed by some of India’s strongest cooperative organizations, including Amul, NAFED, NABARD, IFFCO, KRIBHCO, NDDB, and NCEL, and supported by the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC).

By joining us, you will:

• Lead a movement that puts drivers first in India’s transport sector.
• Shape a cooperative model that ensures fair profits and dignified livelihoods.
• Build a service that offers safe, affordable, and transparent rides to people across India.
• Drive innovation in mobility and contribute to sustainable growth.

This is a chance to leave a mark on India’s future of transport and be remembered as the leader who made cooperative mobility a reality.

How to Apply

Interested candidates with the right qualifications and experience are invited to apply for this role. Details for application submission, deadlines, and process will be announced directly on the Sahakar Taxi website and through NCDC communication channels.
