Urban Company Limited has published a report titled “Ride to Rise,” which examines the impact of two-wheeler ownership on the earnings of women professionals. The report indicates that women who own two-wheelers earn, on average, 14% more in net monthly earnings compared to those relying on public or hired transport. This finding is part of the company’s Udaan initiative, which aims to enhance earning opportunities and financial security for women service professionals through independent mobility.
The report outlines the financial benefits of two-wheeler ownership. Over a five-year period, women who own a two-wheeler can save approximately ₹2.7 lakh. This saving is attributed to the conversion of recurring travel expenses into long-term financial gains, as well as the creation of a tangible asset. The initiative also addresses structural constraints to income growth by reducing travel costs and increasing access to peak earning hours.
The Udaan initiative encompasses an end-to-end mobility ecosystem, including training, licensing, financing, and ownership. As part of this initiative, Urban Company has supported around 1,800 women service professionals. Of these, over 1,100 women have been trained to ride, and more than 700 have purchased two-wheelers. The initiative targets key urban markets such as Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, aiming to improve productivity and economic independence for women.
The report emphasizes the challenges faced by women without personal transport, such as higher travel costs, reduced flexibility, and limited access to peak earning hours. By providing access to two-wheelers, the Udaan initiative seeks to mitigate these challenges, thereby enhancing productivity and monthly earnings. The report also highlights the reduction in waiting times and fewer cancellations of hired transport as contributing factors to increased earnings.
The “Ride to Rise” report was released on March 25, 2026, and is available on Urban Company’s website. The initiative is part of Urban Company’s broader strategy to empower women professionals and improve their economic outcomes through enhanced mobility solutions.
