Suresh Kochattil met Yamuna Sastry nine years ago in a modest 10’x10′ space in Malleswaram, Bangalore, where she was working on a concept that many would have dismissed as too ambitious or too early for its time. Cab Dost, her initiative, aimed to bring financial inclusion to taxi drivers and gig workers by helping them with tax filings a demographic often overlooked in traditional financial systems.
