About Padi
Delivery in Lagos is expensive
partly because
businesses move goods
separately
, paying full cost
alone, every time.
Padi is built to change that.
Shared benefit
Businesses save money while riders get better planned work.
Better coordination
Grouped demand can turn scattered dispatch into useful routes.
Mission
Make delivery affordable for small businesses in Nigeria by letting them share the cost of routes they're already going to send goods through — without the complexity of coordinating it themselves.
Vision
A Lagos where no small business loses a customer because delivery is too expensive. Where goods move efficiently, costs are shared intelligently, and riders earn more from every trip they make.
The problem we're solving
Lagos businesses pay full delivery fees daily, even when riders pass through the same areas carrying different packages from different businesses — none of them connected, none of them sharing a single naira.
Why now
Ecommerce and informal retail in Lagos are growing. So is the cost of last-mile logistics. The window to build a smarter, shared infrastructure for delivery is open — and small businesses need it now.

How we work
What guides us.
01
Demand-led, not assumption-led
We don't build routes based on guesswork. We launch where actual businesses and riders are asking for it.
02
Built for the people using it
Every decision we make should make delivery cheaper for businesses and more efficient for riders. Nothing else matters more.
03
Transparent before launch
We're openly pre-launch. We tell you exactly what stage we're at, what data we're collecting, and what comes next.
04
Shared benefit, not extraction
Padi works when businesses save money and riders earn more. We're building something that benefits both sides of the network.
