About the Company

Ride-sharing services like Uber have revolutionized transportation by providing convenient and affordable rides.
As their core business of transportation services solidifies, ride-sharing companies are now solving other relevant problems that optimise their core business offering.
This Menternship is an opportunity to solve one such problem of traffic congestion, a growing problem across metropolitan cities around the world.

Bridging the gap

Commonly seen in urban areas during peak hours, traffic congestion can result from various factors such as road capacity limitations, traffic incidents, road work, and high vehicle density, the last one becoming a more serious problem with the growth of vehicle ownership in urban households.

In this Menternship, you will work on traffic congestion prediction, identifying peak hours, Junction Comparison & Analysis and evaluate the performance of predictive models to forecast hourly traffic volumes at different road junctions.

Meet Our Certified Menterns

It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.

There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies.

My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.

My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
