“The measure of any society is how it treats its most vulnerable members.”
Tirare replaces exploitative cycle-carts with modular, electric dignity-machines — designing dignity back into the street.
Over 3 million Indian laborers still rely on manually pulled carts. They burn thousands of calories daily, endure extreme spinal strain, and often earn under ₹300.
With temperatures already crossing 47°C in parts of India, the country is reeling from one of the worst heatwaves in its recorded history. Laborers on the street — many pulling metal carts under a punishing sun — face rising risk of heatstroke, dehydration, and collapse.
“It’s not just hot. It’s inhuman.” Their work, already difficult, is becoming unbearable. What does dignity mean in a world where survival itself is at risk?
Across many Indian cities, animals like horses, donkeys, and oxen are still used to pull overloaded carts in extreme heat — often without water, rest, or care. When they collapse from exhaustion or injury, they are not rescued… they are beaten.
One image says it all: a horse collapsed under the sun, being slapped by its keeper. This is not tradition. It’s abuse — normalized on our streets.
Tirare stands for all lives. Our transition to electric carts isn't just a human rights solution — it’s an animal welfare revolution.
While cycle rickshaws emit no CO₂ during operation, we consider manufacturing, material sourcing, and energy inputs across the lifecycle for a fair comparison.
Tirare is not just replacing carts — we are reimagining mobility for India's hardest workers. From brand-new electric trikes to retrofitted and modified carts, our modular system is designed to restore dignity, save lives, and boost incomes.
₹0 upfront. ~₹60/day over ~30 months. Fully includes servicing, parts, and battery swaps. Tailored for daily-wage workers with unstable income.
₹0 upfront. ₹1,500–₹2,000/month over 24–36 months. Payments handled through trusted local partners or self-help groups. Designed for community-rooted lending models.
3-month free trial. Pilots in new cities or funded through CSR. Vendors can convert to Plan A or B post-trial. Great for testing in complex areas before scale.
No vendor is turned away.
Dignity is a right — not a reward. Tirare ensures every worker, regardless of current income or cart condition, has a path forward: New build, retrofit, or modification.
