How did it Start?
When the founder was working for Hewlett Packard Enterprises, He was dependent on an economically fastest means of transport for his 1st/last mile commute that would help him further to utilize the public transport. He used autos or shared mobility bikes for transportation.
At that time the founder realized that it is not providing a solution to his problem. He then realized that there are a lot of people who are facing the exact same issues.
The scooters are very eco-friendly because this eco-friendly-based startup is using batteries that do not emit any harmful gases. This motivated the founder to explore more about hyper-local commuting means of transport which is clean and green. This will promote a better environment with less pollution.
This duo-founded startup has made its agenda to spread awareness about a clean environment and how traveling and commuting can be easy And affordable.

SWOT Analysis
Strength is the efforts of the team and the whole idea surrounding the product of this Bangalore-based startup.
Weaknesses are that we are still on the way to making a bigger app, we are still on the way of ideation and we are planning on the product so that is being slow for us says Varsha.
Opportunities are immense because a lot of people need a medium to commute and EV is one of the best mediums to commute because it’s very efficient and affordable.
The threat can be that a lot of people do not have any awareness regarding clean, affordable commute mediums like EVs.
Buymyev Funding
“We have pitched the idea of our products to at least a hundred and more investors however we are waiting on them”, says Varsha.
This Bangalore-based startup makes sure that the investors of this company are very well interested in the idea of this startup. It is very hard to convince people of the product as people do not have that much awareness about battery-operated automobiles so creating awareness and reaching out to people is one of the challenges.
