Tell us more about Netradyne and its solutions.
Netradyne is an eight-year-old company that has rapidly evolved into a prominent player in the road safety and driver monitoring sphere.

With a strong emphasis on innovation and R&D, our solutions are tailored to address the pressing challenges faced by the transportation sector.
Recent road accident report for 2022 MoRTH has shed light on some surprising yet critical insights into road accidents in India. Contrary to popular belief, straight roads, not winding ones, account for a staggering 67 per cent of accidents. Moreover, favourable weather conditions, such as sunny and clear skies, contribute to approximately 74 per cent of road accidents. Despite only comprising 2 per cent of the total road network, national highways are disproportionately associated with 33 per cent of accidents. These statistics underscore the pivotal role of human error in driving accidents, emphasising the urgent need for intervention and innovative solutions to enhance road safety.
