How the ride works, and where every rupee goes.

From your registration to a family's doorstep, the whole route, no fine print. You ride free. We raise first, choose the partner organisation in the open, and publish every step.

Garage → road → doorstep

Part one, the ride

Register free, pick your city

Name, email, mobile, two minutes. We verify your email with a code, you set a password and accept the rider terms. Your rider profile is live immediately. There is no registration fee.

The first edition rides in 2027 in Chennai, Nagpur, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Kolkata and New Delhi. If your city isn't open yet, you join its waitlist with the same profile and hear first when it's announced.

Ride solo, or with your club

Join an existing club from your dashboard (the club captain approves) or create one (AJR approves, and you become captain). Clubs ride together and climb the standings together.

Ride day

Assembly and tribute, a marshalled convoy on a pre-set route, and a finish dedicated to the families we ride for. Helmets on, no stunts, follow the marshals.

Dress theme: Proudly Indian. Wear what your part of India wears, over proper riding gear. Ride timings and the route for each city are shared with registered riders before the day.

Part two, the money

Riders and clubs raise, every rupee verified

Every rider gets a personal fundraising page, and every club a team page. Share the link, and family, friends and colleagues can donate online in a minute. Donors don't need an account and can stay anonymous.

Donations go through a payment gateway. Each one is confirmed before it counts, and donors get a confirmation from AJR plus a payment receipt.

We screen the partner organisation

Once the funds are in, AJR vets organisations that work directly with the families of martyred soldiers, from foundations started by retired Army officers to associations for war widows. Three checks before any money moves:

  • Paperwork: registration, audited accounts, 80G and FCRA status.
  • Conversations: meetings with the team on programmes and long-term plans.
  • On the ground: site visits to verify past work and speak with families.

The shortlist and the final choice are published on this page.

100% passed on

AJR takes nothing from donations. Funds go to the chosen partner on a published schedule, with the transfer confirmation posted here. The partner puts them to work where families need it most: emotional, financial and skill-based support for the families of the fallen.

Part three, reporting back

After every ride, and every six months

After the ride: a public note with the total raised, the number of riders and donors, the partner chosen, the amount transferred and the transfer confirmation.

Every six months: an impact update from the partner on the families supported and what the funds paid for, in the families' own words where they have chosen to share. The partner gets read-only access to verify the totals.

We ride. They live forever.
