SmartE: Developing India's electric vehicle ecosystem

We talked to Goldie Srivastava, Co-founder and CEO of electric mobility service SmartE, and discussed their goal to address last mile connectivity, with zero emission vehicles and India’s largest network of electric vehicle charging stations, which can concurrently charge more than 1600 vehicles.

Said Goldie Srivastava, “SmartE is India’s first and till date the largest shared electric mobility platform using a fleet of 1200 vehicles and we’ve delivered more than 16 million rides in the last five plus years. We’ve also built India’s largest network of electric vehicle charging stations, which can concurrently charge more than 1600 vehicles.”

He added, “Way back in 2014, India barely had any electric vehicle ecosystem. In that sense not only were we the first movers but a category creator. The problem with that is that you have to do all the heavy lifting. We had to create an entire service model. We had to literally own and build that service business.”
