The one cannot exist without the other. We are grateful for the investors’ confidence, financial assistance, and mentorship. This would undoubtedly aid us in carrying out our ambitious ambitions.
Prateek Toshniwal, the co-founder of IVY Growth Associates, stated that considering the EV sector expansion and the At campus need in colleges, Indeanta will be a firm to look for in the future. And Dr Aaron D’souza is a committed founder who will lead this adventure in the coming decade.”

A portion of the investment will also be used to fortify the technological platform, onboard OEMs with lease plans, and focus on innovation and advancements in battery technology, V2G (Vehicle to grid technology), and smart charging infrastructure.
