Founded in 2021, MoEVing operates 1,500 electric vehicles, including two-wheelers and three-wheelers, in 15 cities. It has set up more than 30 multimodal charging hubs nationwide.

“India has the potential to become a first EV country. The push to EVs means a complete rethink of the transportation ecosystem, which has to be built from the ground up in many places. MoEVing is working to do that in the commercial EV space, as we strongly believe that EV adoption will be driven by commercial transportation, especially in the first/last mile delivery space,” said Vikash Mishra, co- founder and CEO of MoEVing.

“MoEVing’s full-stack platform approach is unique and has global relevance to support the acceleration of EV adoption across industries. Our investment recognizes the opportunity for MoEVing to grow exponentially by taking advantage of the early EV wave as Indian companies transition their supply chain to electric mobility.” Sachin TagraPartner at JSW Ventures, said.

JSW Ventures, part of the group of the same name, is a pre-Series A to Series A+, VC firm focused on platform and SaaS investments.
