In the heart of India, where the Ganges flows, lies Bihar, a state steeped in history and tradition. But beneath its timeless veneer, Bihar is witnessing a silent revolution, one fueled by entrepreneurship and innovation. At the forefront of this transformation is Rodbez, a startup that embodies the spirit of Bihar’s newfound economic resurgence.
Rodbez is not just another startup; it’s a beacon of hope for small-town entrepreneurs, a catalyst for change in a region often overlooked by mainstream development narratives. Founded by Dilkhush Kumar, a rickshaw puller who became an entrepreneur hailing from Bihar.
The Genesis of Rodbez
Rodbez was started in July 2022 with an investment by Mithila Angel Network for ₹4 crore valuation. He designed the App and hired engineers to make it.
The name ‘RodBez’ is Kumar’s clever, self-reflexive take on the ‘Bihari’ pronunciation of the word ‘roadways.’ Call it an inside joke, but it’s ‘hard to relate’ for riders too.
Rodbez is connecting the village to city and city to village, “Revolution is on the way,” Dilkhus says, which also happens to be the tagline of RodBez. He wants to expand his ‘kingdom’ to villages across India
Revolutionizing Commuting in Bihar
RodBez is Bihar’s largest One Way Taxi, Taxipool & Carpool platform. Now no need to pay two-way or return fares when you are travelling one-way. Verified customers come together and help each other through Carpool, Taxipool and one-way Ride.

Rodbez Pitch in Shark Tank
The ‘RodBez’ founders made a pitch of Rs 50 lakh for 5 per cent equity. Founder Dilkhush was very happy with the deal. He said that he wanted the expertise of sharks more than money.
Conclusion
As Bihar embarks on its journey towards economic resurgence, Rodbez stands as a shining example of what is possible when passion, perseverance, and purpose converge. With its unwavering dedication to creating opportunities and empowering communities, Rodbez is not just a startup; it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and possibility. And as Bihar’s startup king, Dilkhush Kumar, continues to chart new territories and break down barriers, the Rodbez revolution shows no signs of slowing down.
