π₯³ NPHVA at TADA FEST 2026
NPHVA was pleased to join our partner, TADA, at TADA Fest, where drivers came together for an afternoon of laughter, networking, and of course, plenty of durian.
The event was also a valuable opportunity for drivers to learn more about TADA's recent updates and ongoing efforts to adapt its policies and initiatives to better support drivers. It was heartening to see open engagement and a shared commitment to improving the driver experience, with drivers actively exchanging feedback and perspectives throughout the afternoon.
These interactions also provided a meaningful opportunity for NPHVA to engage drivers directly and listening in on existing feedbacks. Such conversations remain invaluable as we continue working closely with platform partners such as TADA to explore practical solutions and drive positive outcomes for drivers.
Thank you to TADA for hosting and to all the drivers who joined us. We look forward to seeing everyone again at future engagements!
