The event commenced from NCPA, Nariman Point, Mumbai and after traversing through the city's major landmarks will conclude in Nasik where the prize distribution ceremony will be held.The event is held in TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) format which is a unique form of rallying where crossing the chequered flag fastest is not the objective.

Participants have to maintain specified times and average speeds (which are at par or lower than the legal limits) on various segments of a predefined route.The participants put forward various themes ranging from child abuse, ‘nari shakti', women empowerment, child marriage, women's leadership, and women's safety.
