Ravi Gaikwad Delighted To Resume The Road Safety World Series T20

Founder of the Road Safety World Series, Ravi Gaikwad said about the lessons taught by the pandemic last year for every traveller on the road to have some empathy on everyone and was really thankful to resume the tournament in spite of all the situations.

“The year gone by has taught us a very important lesson, to be compassionate towards our fellowmen, if we can show the same compassion and empathy to everyone on the road, our roads will be safer for all — walkers, cyclists, bikers, motorists et all.

“To spread awareness towards road safety, the Unacademy Road Safety World Series started with lot of hope and promise last year, but had to call it off due to the challenging times.

“But, I am extremely glad to announce that we are here again, and I am thankful to all, the players, the officials, our broadcast partners and our large workforce who have come together to take the initiative forward in these difficult times,” Ravi Gaikwad stated.
