Expressing enthusiasm about the collaboration with ADB Ventures and AdvantEdge Founders, Kunal Mundra, CEO and co-founder of Electrifi Mobility, emphasised the significance of these partnerships in supporting India's journey towards electrifying mobility and achieving a net-zero future. The capital and support from investors will empower Electrifi to not only build upon its current success but also deploy over 20,000 EVs in India.
