About us
India loses more than 177,000 lives on its roads every year — yet road safety efforts often remain fragmented across stakeholders, systems and states. Crashfree India works to bridge this gap by bringing together government, industry, and citizens around one shared mission: zero road fatalities.
Often the result of siloed efforts and processes, our work addresses the challenge of ensuring safer mobility nationwide through data-driven advocacy, research, and collaborative action.
Translating field evidence into actionable insights for policy, from crash compensation to gig workers' road safety.
Auditing India's most crash-prone zones through Project Rakshak, turning youth-led road safety evidence into civic approvals and on-ground fixes.
AI-powered crash compensation navigation and community-driven hazard reporting through Sadak Suraksha Mitra.
Shifting road user behaviour through evidence-based awareness programs, stakeholder engagement, and research.
Our programmes
Mobilising India's sharpest young minds to audit the country's crash hotspots—identifying hazards with the guidance of expert mentors, conducting safety assessments based on IRC & MoRTH Guidelines, and advocating directly with civic authorities to drive on-ground infrastructure fixes across Indian cities.

Gig riders are a living case study in India's two-wheeler safety crisis: a population working long hours on our roads, under greater pressure, and with less protection than almost any other road user. Researching the risks they face and produce to build the evidence base for targeted interventions that reduce crash risk for India's vulnerable road users.
