About Gaadiya
Gaadiya is a Maldivian mobility platform run by Bollard Maldives from an office in Malé, connecting riders and drivers for taxi trips, package deliveries and food orders in a single app. It positions itself as an alternative to relying on a private vehicle, aiming to ease congestion on the country's small, densely packed islands.
