"We used to work for an e-commerce firm in Goa and everyone would hire bikes there. Rohan (Nagarkar, founder) started cycling to work, and many others, including myself, followed. This led us to form our company," says Peter Rodrigues, co founder. The first edition in 2016 saw Falguni Deep from Chembur who completed 1,100km in 21 days bag the title, and last year, Thomas Philjon from Chennai won by completing 1,160km.
