📢 The shared mobility industry is growing and changing rapidly around the world. Chanchal Jetha 🛴🚲, a shared mobility analyst who regularly posts worldwide news on shared mobility, is the closest to a one-stop shop for this wide field of knowledge.
📝 During her post-graduation degree, she took an inclination towards market research and has been in that field ever since, currently she is working with Frost & Sullivan, a global consulting firm as an Industry Analyst.
🤿 She has dived deep into the ocean of Shared Mobility with a day-to-day filled with topics such as car sharing, micro-mobility, demand-responsive transport (drt), mobility as a service (maas) and ride hailing.
