In a recent feature by Business Outreach Magazine, Nishad Ahammed, the visionary founder of GoFree Cycles, was highlighted for his significant contributions to promoting sustainable transportation in India. Established in 2018 and headquartered in Bangalore, GoFree Cycles has rapidly expanded its presence across South India, offering high-quality bicycles that cater to a diverse clientele.
Nishad’s journey is marked by a profound commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. His leadership has been instrumental in positioning GoFree Cycles as a key player in advocating for eco-friendly transportation solutions. Under his guidance, the company has not only focused on manufacturing and retailing bicycles but has also ventured into franchising and distribution, ensuring wider accessibility to sustainable mobility options.
Beyond the business realm, Nishad has initiated several projects aimed at social welfare. These include ‘Link Line Private Limited,’ which made high-quality sports bikes accessible to Kerala’s lower-middle-class population, and ‘Happy Drops,’ launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide clean drinking water to those in need. He also established ‘Life of Hope,’ a charitable foundation supporting pediatric cancer patients, and ‘Kani Herbals,’ promoting the use of natural and handmade soaps and cosmetics.
Nishad’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. He has been honored with several accolades, including the Economic Times Business Icon Award (2019) for Best Mobility, the Success Kerala Business Award, the 3rd Asian African Award, and the Karnataka Business Awards for Best Business Entrepreneur.
