Financial wrap-around for electric vehicles

Ravi Lalwani: In which cities have your organization witnessed the rise in demand. for EV finance?

Sumeru: Ecofy's distribution strategy is in sync with the rising consumer demand for EVs, especially in Bangalore and Delhi NCR. The popularity of EVs across various cities in India has resulted in a surge in EV finance. Bangalore has emerged as the primary market with the highest number of EV consumers, followed by Delhi. As EVS are relatively expensive compared to traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, financing plays a pivotal role in purchasing decisions.

What is the size of your business for 2-wheelers, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles?

Sumeru: Within just 4 months of launching our full operations in January 2023, we've financed over 1200 vehicles.

Sivaprasad: Ecofy has recently entered the 3-wheeler EV business in April 2023, which is been operational in the last one month.

Aaya hoon toh kuch leke jaunga

Two things unlearned in 2024: Unlearning can be one of the most challenging aspects of life because what we've learned often stays with us. (i) However, one of the most important things I've unlearned is taking my health for granted. After facing significant health challenges, I've made a conscious effort to prioritize my well-being and gradually detoxify my lifestyle. (ii) Another key realization for me has been that there’s no age limit to learning. When I took on the role of CEO at ITI Mutual Fund, I had to step into a new world filled with fresh responsibilities and learning opportunities. As the saying goes, 'with great power comes great responsibility,' and I believe that to lead effectively, one must be committed to continuous learning and personal growth.
