Regional Maintenance Head - Rivigo Gurgaon

About us - 

Founded in 2014 and listed among the world's top emerging businesses, RIVIGO is writing the future of logistics with a global-first driver relay model enabled by a unique mix of next generation technology and operational excellence.

Through the relay model, we have fundamentally changed the truck driver's job from a - months-away-from-home- job to a - day- job. Unlike conventional truck drivers, relay pilots drive from pitstop to pitstop (under 300 kms) and return to their families the same day, thus initiating a huge cycle of social change.

Our customers leverage 50-70% reduction in transit time and 100% precision and reliability to reinvent their business models - by serving new markets, reducing inventory and significantly cutting costs. With ground-breaking technology solutions and advanced data analytics, we are a unique logistics network that aspires to be India's largest new age logistics platform. We are contributing to building the new India by defining the next-generation trucking industry with accurate predictions, elevated levels of efficiency, simple automated operations, and by making logistics human.
