WingManX Awards 2025-26: Founder Speak

Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, Nilesh Sane, CEO and Co-Founder of WingManX, said, “WingManX started as a simple idea to help riders find the right people to ride with. Over time, it became a larger ecosystem built on trust, responsibility, and community. The WingManX Awards are our way of recognising riders who live these values every day and shape India’s motorcycling culture without seeking the spotlight.”

Dr. Sahil Trimbake, Co-Founder of WingManX, added, “Motorcycling is not just about riding skill, it is about judgement, responsibility, and the ability to look out for one another on the road. The WingManX Awards recognise riders and communities who set these standards through their actions, not just their achievements. By acknowledging these values publicly, we hope to encourage a safer, more accountable riding culture across the country.”

Echoing the sentiment, Urvashi Patole, Partner – Community and Marketing, shared – “These awards honour the consistency, discipline, and passion that often go unnoticed in the riding world. Motorcycling culture is always evolving, and the WingManX Awards are designed to grow every year, celebrating riders not just for how far they ride, but for how they uplift the community.”

At the heart of the awards is the WingManX app, India’s premier community-tech platform built by bikers, for bikers. The app provides a structured digital backbone to India’s fragmented riding scene, enabling ride tracking, club management, safety features, verified rider profiles, and community discovery. Recent features that have been added include rider badges, live group location tracking during rides, and peer-based rider ratings to encourage accountability.
