This funding will definitely help us add wings to our service and ensure that India witnesses uncompromised 24/7 roadside assistance from ReadyAssist across the country in the months and years ahead. Thanks to all our investors or service providers or customers for their faith in us and for helping us in making Indian roads safer to drive on. We now keenly welcome Howen to ReadyAssist, and look forward to partnering with them on the exciting road ahead," said Vimal Singh SV, founder and CEO of ReadyAssist.
