EVage: Creating niche in electric 4-wheel last mile delivery vehicles
EVage was born in 2014 and incorporated 5 years later today has garnered attention by making India’s first exoskeleton structure for an electric delivery van. The founders of EVage – Pulkit Srivastava and Harnoor Kaur – along with Inderveer Singh, together take care of the company’s business, digital manufacturing and technology respectively. EVage has been bootstrapped till now and is now getting into their first fundraising activity.

Inderveer Singh – Founder and CEO, Technology and Manufacturing, EVage shares: “We have built it from the ground up and we are looking at a formal launch in the first quarter of 2021. When we began in 2014, the electric mobility supplier ecosystem was missing. It was our conscious decision to make aerospace-inspired structures, and the people in our team are scientists from the international aerospace industry. Understandably, our journey in the last six years has been speckled with issues just like any startup would while trying to develop a product from the scratch. And now we have the vehicle ready.”

EVage’s last and mid-mile delivery vehicles would be 4-wheel commercial delivery vans and mini trucks running in urban environments.
