Founded in 2018, it expanded rapidly during the pandemic but has since downsized drastically, reducing its workforce from over 1,000 to about 30 employees.

Nitin Gadkari Sir in recent interview said "I will ask Finance Minister for additional 10% GST on diesel vehicles" "We have to leave petrol and diesel soon and walk on the new path of being pollution free" While I agree and strongly believe in this great initiative but it's not that easy as he thinks , for a middle class family like ours shifting from one to other is quite difficult when there are not enough "CHARGING STATIONs". we folks can only shift when we have full trust and what about the mechanics etc who are skilled for IC engines . Still think it's too early for tier 3 cities.

Great initiative, but the reality is different. Without enough charging stations and affordable EV options, it's tough for us to switch. It’s a big ask for families already struggling with expenses.
