Autorickshaws to sell Uninor recharge coupons

The Auto recharge initiative will allow rickshaw drivers to inform and provide Uninor services to their customers

Norwegian telecom services operator Uninor has set up unique sales team to increase the business and its customers. Now instead of traditional sales executives, local auto rickshaw drivers will sell Uninor's recharge coupons through their network.

Uninor has announced a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, for the Maharashtra region-'Auto recharge'. It will allow auto rickshaw drivers to inform and provide Uninor services to their customers.

The project started with 10 auto rickshaws from the Vishrantwadi Rickshaw Union as a pilot servicing important areas such as airport, railway station and key bus depots of Pune. Keeping in mind the success of the initiative Uninor now plans to launch 1,000 auto recharge vehicles in the next six months across Maharashtra.

This includes cities like Vasai, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Solapur, Nashik and Goa. The auto rickshaw drivers are trained on the products, method of recharge and form filling process. The auto rickshaw drivers are well informed about various Uninor services and recharge benefits in order to provide full support to existing customers.
