Electric Vehicles (EVs) are the future of mobility. With the Indian EV market yet to reach its full potential, many upcoming EV startups in the country have been developing smart mobility solutions. One of the latest entrants in the sector is Pune-based e-bike startup VTRO motors private limited by Dr. Heramb Shelke, a Pune-based mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur. Dr. Shelke is a visionary and a tech enthusiast with a strong track record in operations and management. His new venture in the field of EV (Electric Vehicles) named VTRO motors private limited is undoubtedly one of its kinds in the city of Pune. India is the third-biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, after China and the US, and the government has set an ambitious target of having 30 per cent of private cars, 70 per cent of commercial vehicles, 40 per cent of buses and 80 per cent of two and three-wheelers to be electric by 2030. VTRO motors private limited is among the companies that will contribute to drive the country’s transition to EVs.
Dr. Shelke, co-founder and CEO of VTRO, aims at providing the EV market with strong foundation in business operations and strategy, and an extensive leadership experience in fast-paced entrepreneurial environments. VTRO is hoping to launch a consolidated ecosystem that pieces together the challenges that EV market is plagued by at this point in time like expensive battery replacements, lack of dedicated parking spots, exiguity of charging infrastructure, etc. and turn them into invaluable opportunities. The market opportunity in India for the electric bike segment is still small. Besides increasing customer preference towards electric bikes for recreational and adventure activities, the adoption of e-bikes in several other sectors, such as logistics and rentals, is driving the market growth of electric bikes in India.
