Mobility / EV
Capital for electric mobility, auto-tech, and the software/services layer around moving people and goods.
What this thesis means
Mobility and EV investors back electric vehicles, charging and battery-adjacent businesses, fleet platforms, and auto-tech software. Hardware cycles are capital intensive; software and services layers can scale differently. In India, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial fleets often matter as much as passenger cars.
Expect questions on unit economics per vehicle or km, supply-chain dependence, policy sensitivity, and whether you own demand (fleet, consumer) or infrastructure. Pure subsidy stories fade; durable utilisation and service models travel better.
Pitch the economic buyer and utilisation loop. Show why your wedge survives when incentives change.
Who it fits
- EV, fleet, charging, and auto-tech founders
- Teams with utilisation or deployment proof
- Software layers selling into mobility operators
What to prepare
- Unit economics per vehicle, km, or account
- Hardware vs software capital plan
- Policy and supply-chain risk honesty
