This time, we want to take a moment to reminisce about when we first came up with the crazy idea of bringing these uncommon vehicles to one of the most important tech conferences in the industry: Dreamforce.
Part of this article was originally published on the QuestionPro blog.
San Francisco is the largest city on the West Coast. It is known for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, and, of course, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It is also the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California.
Considering these facts, a good portion of the population resides here. Many motor vehicles zoom on the freeways. Officegoers can be seen commuting through public transport, and the others are usually seen cycling or walking to their workplace.
To sum up, San Francisco is a well-equipped city for transportation. But have you ever been driven around in a Rickshaw in San Francisco? No Kidding! And please stop rubbing your eyes. You read it right, a Rickshaw!
Rickshaws, more fondly called Tuk-Tuks, are one of the most preferred means of transport in India and Southeast Asia. If you are confused about something, be it weather, politics, or even geostrategic analysis, you can get an expert opinion from the rickshaw driver.
In fact, QuestionPro could be seen at the Salesforce flagship event, Dreamforce 2017, where we offered attendees the chance to take a ride in our amazing Rickshaw and discuss our powerful integration with Salesforce and how it can benefit you or your organization as a whole.

Back then, we teamed up with IdeaScale to bring two Rickshaws to the event, connecting with founders and industry enthusiasts to discuss partnership opportunities and new ideas.
It was something like Carpool Karaoke, but instead of a car, we had an amazing time in our Rickshaws. And instead of singing, we shared great ideas (though maybe a song or two did sneak in).
Live the experience!
The idea was so much fun that we’ve replicated it at various events since then. The next one is at our annual conference, XDAY 2024, which you definitely shouldn’t miss!
If you’re planning to be in Austin, Texas, on October 3rd, you won’t want to miss this incredible event and, of course, the chance to ride one of these amazing vehicles imported directly from India (don’t worry, we have all the legal permits to drive them around the city 😉).
And as a thank you for reading this far, we invite you to use the code VIVEK when getting your tickets to receive a completely free ticket and the opportunity to ride in our Rickshaw driven by our CEO, Vivek Bhaskaran.
