About the Organization

“Truck Drivers are one of the most neglected communities when it comes to any kind of social protection in India. While they are the supply/logistics nerves of the country, they remain unseen to most of the policymakers.

Overloading, long hours of driving, sleep deprivation, low pay, poor, unsafe driving conditions, dietary and personal hygiene, staying away from families for the longest of times, hassles with interborder transport, harassment by police, make them one of the most vulnerable job profiles there is.

HumSafer Driver safety foundation in collaboration with Good mind Pvt. Ltd is committed to the mission of making India roads Accident free. They have built a mobile application which uses Al to help prevent road accidents for truck drivers. HumSafer Driver safety foundation’s mission is to work with truckers towards the adoption of the HumSafer Driver safety App through community work driver engagement programs and incentives. In addition, the foundation is responsible for undertaking community welfare efforts for the families of truck drivers.

HumSafer is using technology to reduce Road accidents in India by harnessing the best of the profit and non-profit sectors. Their focus is to build a solution for drivers that makes them better drive and make our roads safer.”
