Gurugram based tech-enabled electric fleet startup for urban mobility – moEVing has partnered with leading EV OEMs and launched operations in 3 cities – Delhi/NCR, Bangalore & Pune, all within 1 month of company incorporation. moEVing has already raised $1 mn of seed funding where senior executives from Private Equity, Investment bank, Technology and Mobility sector in India and abroad have participated in this angel round.

With 100+ EV’s on road, Moeving is already running operations with leading players in the ecommerce, online groceries & FMCG sectors. It plans to expand soon to Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata.

Founded by Vikash Mishra, an IIT, NUS & IIM alum, moEVing’s vision is to ensure carbon free delivery for the last mile and middle mile segments.

An EV ecosystem player, moEVing caters to B2B clients across ecommerce, FMCG, 3PL & food delivery platforms. MoEVing aspires to build the ecosystem providing “mobility as a service” to create demand, “platform as a service” to push the supply envelope and “energy as a service” to enable the infrastructure for 2W/3W/4W form factors across the country.

Aiming to have 100,000+ electric fleet on road by 2025, moEVing targets to abate 500,000+ MT of carbon emissions, an equivalent of planting 10,000+ Lodhi gardens in Delhi. moEVing believes this goal can be achieved by not just adding more EVs on road but by replacing every ICE vehicle with an EV; an objective moEVing aims to achieve with its Platform as a Service that brings all the electric mobility value chain players together to replace the ICE vehicles used by the industry with EVs.

Manas Fuloria, Founder, CEO – Nagarro said, “All entrepreneurs have ambition, but I get excited when I see an entrepreneur who is also pragmatic. Plus, Vikash’s experience in the EV space positions him perfectly for this venture. I’m always campaigning against air pollution, so I will assist moEVing to pull us away from fossil fuels.”
