So apparently, since Karnataka High Court banned bike taxis, Rapido has come up with a full desi jugaad idea... they're now asking you to become a parcel and get delivered 😭

Like literally, instead of calling it a ride, they're tagging you as a "delivery package" and sending you from Point A to B. Just imagine you book Rapido, the rider shows up, and technically you are not a passenger anymore... you are a courier item 😂

Bro I was half-expecting the app to say "Please stay sealed and handle with care" 💀

On a serious note, how is this even legal? Isn't this just trying to bend the rules a bit too much? Or is this just Indian jugaad at its finest?

What do you guys think? Will this work? Or is this going to end up getting banned too?

Hahaha bro.....this is peak desi jugaad energy 😂 Rapido really said, "If you can't ride, get delivered!" I swear, only in India you will see a tech startup turning humans into parcels to beat legal loopholes.

On a serious note though, this is that classic grey area move. Technically, they aren't operating a bike taxi anymore, so they are not violating the letter of the HC ban. But the spirit of the law? Yeah, that's definitely getting stretched like an old Bajaj clutch cable 😅

Legally, it might fly short term unless someone challenges it again.  But long-term, regulators are bound to tighten this up. Still, gotta hand it to Rapido... their legal + product team must be working overtime on Red Bull and jugaad logic right now 🧠💡

Will it work? In India? Bro, anything can work with the right amount of inconvenience tolerance and jugaad support. But yeah, it's a ticking time bomb unless the legal framework catches up fast.

In Bangalore, taking an auto sometimes feels like you are booking a ticket to space "minus" the seatbelt and with more honking  :-\
