KARACHI: inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform, has announced an initiative to deliver high-impact STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, coding, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) training to school-age children and youth across Pakistan.

The student intake for the upcoming program is strategically designed to uplift the gig economy ecosystem, with 80 percent of the seats reserved exclusively for drivers’ children, and the remaining 20 percent dedicated to children from marginalised local communities, split across three distinct age groups.

The program model arrives in Pakistan following a highly successful pilot framework in Egypt.

In an innovative twist that connects everyday commuting with community impact, inDrive users across Pakistan can now actively champion this educational cause.

Passengers who ride using the app earn digital coins through the inDrive MAX loyalty program. The platform has integrated a donation feature that allows users to contribute their accumulated loyalty coins directly to fund the resources, equipment, and training infrastructure required for this STEM education initiative.

“Our goal is to treat technology and programming as tools for meaningful social action, not just as isolated digital skills,” said Muhammad Awais Saeed, Country Lead for inDrive Pakistan. “We want to teach young students how to build digital solutions that address real problems right inside their own communities. By introducing this curriculum, we are encouraging critical thinking, personal agency, and a deep understanding of technology’s positive impact on society.”

Upon its upcoming rollout, the initiative has set clear performance benchmarks to ensure measurable educational impact across the country. The program aims to fully train over 400 students in total, balancing the intake at approximately 100 children per regional location.

To maintain an optimal learning environment, the curriculum will be delivered across four to five specialised learning groups in each location.

By bridging corporate infrastructure with grassroots community support, inDrive continues to challenge social inequities, ensuring the digital economy paves a sustainable path forward for the children of its most dedicated partners.
