Electronic City is one of the largest IT hubs in Bengaluru and also one of the most preferred residential destinations for many professionals working in the vicinity. But there is more to Bengaluru’s most-talked-about locality. Electronic City is one of the largest electronic industrial parks in India spread over 332 acres of area. With an area as large, there’s a need to raise awareness about greener commutes and one that can reduce congestion in one of the busiest areas of Bengaluru.
Yulu’s aim is to make the commute seamless, easy and affordable for the masses. With a lot of hustle-bustle in Bangalore, the need of the hour is to ensure road safety. To create mass awareness on safety, Yulu was part of various events and activities held in Electronic City in the month of February.
32nd National Road Safety Month :
Even though India contributes to only 2% of motor vehicles in the world, we still contribute to 11% of yearly road accident deaths worldwide. Statistics prove that there is one death every 4 minutes due to a road accident in India. One of our objectives is to make commuting safe. Every year, National Road Safety Week is celebrated on January 18th. But this year the campaign has been extended for an entire month – National Road Safety Month.
A month after the National Road Safety Week, On February 16th, in collaboration with KA 51 RTO, Yulu conducted an awareness rally on road and traffic safety. The rally was a huge success as we saw around 300 attendees and a special appearance by Satish Reddy (MLA ) BJP and Alu Swamy (Joint Commissioner of Karnataka). They showed support and appreciation for the 2-hour rally that was held at E City KA 51 RTO.
Traffic Police Safety Awareness Programme :
Yulu in partnership with the Traffic Police Dept and Elcita Dept organized a Safety Awareness Rally on the 17th February at E-city, phase 1, Wipro Gate no. 6. The rally was attended by around 65 people over the course of 2 hours. The chief guests for the event were UMA Mahesh (Traffic Inspector) Arogya Asst. Manager (traffic & security ELCITA).
Yulu’s Launch at SKV Hanging Garden Apartments :
From road safety to apartment launches, this month we’ve done it all. We’re pleased to share with you that we launched our services at SKY Hanging Garden Apartments at Electronic City, Phase 2 on 21st Feb 2021. The 6-hour event was successfully planned in association with the colony office, with over 80 attendees. It was a great experience and the residents appreciated our initiative to go-green!
We at Yulu aim to make commuting safe and hassle-free for people. With events like these, we ensure that we raise awareness about road safety and how it’s the need of the hour, to avoid accidents and reduce congestion & pollution by switching to electric vehicles. With more launches as above, we want to make India electric and green!
