The Business Case
Upgreat is based on a social enterprise model. We intend to collaborate with training institutes and restaurants, to provide to riders. Riders enrolling with us will be provided training in various aspects.They will be matched with a restaurant for their intended job position, and be given monthly salaries and on the job training.

Since we focus on enriching lives of a financially unsustainable group, we plan to collaborate with public funding instituitions like the government, to support us with the necessary funds for the setting up and running our service.We intend to start with Singapore as our launchpad. This decision follows from evidence of public funding avalability and also the avalability of over a 1000 restaurant jobs in the market
