How Raahi works

Last updated 11 July 2026

Raahi is a peer-to-peer intercity delivery network in India. A verified traveller who is already going from one city to another carries your parcel — documents, home-cooked food or a small item — and is paid on delivery. You pay only when the delivery code is scanned at the door, so nobody has to trust a stranger blindly.

Sending a parcel: 4 steps

1
Post your parcelTell Raahi what you're sending (documents, home-cooked food or a small item), from which city to which, and where to pick up and drop. You see the price up front.
2
Match with a verified travellerRaahi shows travellers already going your way. You see each राही's rating, reviews and verification before you choose — nobody accepts blind.
3
Pickup with a codeYour traveller does a quick open-box check of the declared contents and collects the parcel using a pickup code, so the right hands take it.
4
Track it live, pay on deliveryFollow the parcel on a live map, city to city. You pay only when the delivery code is scanned at the door — that's what confirms it arrived.

Earning as a traveller (राही): 4 steps

Already travelling between cities? Your bag has spare room — fill it and get paid for the trip you were taking anyway.

1
Post your tripTell Raahi where you're headed and how — flight, train, bus or car — and how much spare space you have.
2
Accept a parcel on your wayPick a parcel going in your direction. You see the sender, the declared contents and what you'll earn before you accept.
3
Collect and carryDo a quick open-box check of the declared contents, collect it with the pickup code, and carry it on the trip you were taking anyway.
4
Deliver and get paidHand it over, the delivery code is scanned, and your earnings land in your Raahi wallet — ready to withdraw.

What makes it safe

  • Verified on both sides — every sender and traveller links a government ID and matches a selfie before anyone meets.
  • Two-code handoff — a pickup code and a delivery code confirm the parcel changed the right hands.
  • Open-box check — the traveller checks the declared contents before carrying, so there are no surprises and no undeclared goods.
  • Pay on delivery — your money moves only when the delivery code confirms arrival.
  • Live tracking & ratings — follow the parcel on a map and rate each other after every trip.

Frequently asked questions

How does Raahi work in one line?

A verified traveller already going from your city to another carries your parcel and is paid on delivery — you get an intercity delivery for a fraction of an urgent courier, and they earn from a trip they were taking anyway.

Do I have to trust a stranger?

No. Both sides are identity-verified with a government ID and a selfie, you see ratings and reviews before choosing, a pickup code and a delivery code confirm each handoff, and you pay only after the delivery code is scanned.

How long does a Raahi delivery take?

It depends on the traveller's journey. Because a राही can travel a direct flight, train or drive, urgent parcels on busy corridors often arrive the same day — faster than hub-and-spoke courier logistics.

What does it cost?

You always see the price before you book. It's based on distance and size and sits below the fast/same-day courier tier, because the parcel rides on a trip that was already happening.
