inDrive has provided more than 750 children across Pakistan with professional training in coding, digital citizenship, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) through an education programme that was launched in September 2026. The programme is an exclusive benefit for drivers who are enrolled in the Platinum and Legend loyalty tiers of the platform, and it extends the support of the company to the children of its driver community. Training is delivered in partnership with CIRCLE Women and Tech Valley, which bring structured digital learning to the families of drivers and give children a chance to learn skills that are becoming more important in the job market.
Awais Saeed, Country Manager of inDrive Pakistan, said that the drivers are the backbone of the platform and work every day to keep communities connected. He said that by working with CIRCLE Women and Tech Valley, the company is proud to offer this benefit to drivers and to equip the next generation with technology and AI skills for the economy of tomorrow. The initiative comes against the background of the education situation in the country, where roughly 25 million children between the ages of 5 and 16 are out of school, which is the second largest out-of-school population in the world.
The partners explained the thinking behind the programme in their own statements. CIRCLE Women said that it is giving the children of drivers hands-on digital and AI skills, and that in an economy shaped by AI such skills are no longer optional but are the entry ticket. Tech Valley said that the partnership enables real skills, real reach, and real accountability by bringing structured digital learning straight to the families of inDrive drivers. Tech Valley and inDrive had also launched Digital Safar in October, a free online programme on digital safety and AI literacy for 300 children of drivers in grades 6 to 10, which was delivered through three weeks of live classes in Urdu.
For inDrive, the programme is part of a wider effort to invest in the long term future of its driver ecosystem, and the company said that it combines community focused support with technical education to build sustainable pathways for the youth of Pakistan. The loyalty tier structure means that the benefit reaches families of drivers who have reached the higher levels of the programme, rather than the entire driver base. As more children complete the courses, the results of the programme will show how far a ride hailing company can support learning through partnerships with organisations that specialise in digital education.
