VoltUp raises $8 Mn in seed funding round

VoltUp, a mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platform and battery-swapping startup, has raised $8 million (Rs 67 crore) in a seed funding round, comprising equity and debt, which was led by EM Impact Capital. The Mumbai-based company had previously raised $10 million in the pre-seed round, bringing the total fund raised to $18 million with participation from prominent Family Office, HDFC Bank, cKers, Grip Invest and GetVantage. Founded in 2019 by Siddharth Kabra, VoltUp is a battery-swapping platform that is designed for electric 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers. Operating in 14 cities, VoltUp’s technology-first approach integrates AI and data analytics to optimize station locations, monitor battery performance in real-time, and predict user demand, offering a safer, more efficient, and time-saving alternative to traditional charging. With a core focus on safety, health, and efficiency (SHE), VoltUp claims to deliver a more sustainable mobility experience, making densely populated cities smarter and more connected. Through its Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) network, the startup empowers delivery agents, gig workers, and small businesses with reliable electric 2-wheelers powered by proprietary swappable battery technology. VoltUp plans to accelerate its MaaS offerings, integrating seamlessly with multiple electric vehicle platforms for two- and three-wheelers. It claims that its revenue has grown by over 4 times in the last 12 months and plans to deploy 1,000 new battery-swapping stations across 20 urban centres, supporting a growing customer base while promoting EV adoption and reducing range anxiety. Over the next two years, VoltUp aspires to invest in assets worth over $85 million, including swapping stations, batteries, and expanding the MaaS platform leading to additional job creation and bolstering India’s transition to sustainable mobility.
