eBikeGO has announced that it will now help in ‘Ease of Doing Business(EoDB)’ to its business partners in electric mobility space through its franchise owned and company-operated (FOCO) model. The alliance was initiated on World EV Day, September 9th, 2020. Appointing ASSAR as its strategic partner for government facilitation to drive EV adoption.

Under this partnership, EoDB and eBikeGO will co-promote and co-deploy over 3000 EV bikes to various e-commerce and logistics companies like Amazon, Big Basket, Swiggy etc. There, will also be supported by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), which is aggressively empowering better credit facilities, finance and bank guarantees to micro-enterprises through various government schemes and public/private banks. More discussions to bring sustainability in center-stage on this initiative are underway with NITI Aayog, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Department of Science &  Technology, and Ministry of Electronics.

Welcoming and congratulating the strategic alliance, Honourable Minister Sh. Pratap Chandra Sarangi, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) says, “I congratulate eBikeGO and ASSAR on this strategic partnership . It’s a heartening move as together both ASSAR and eBikeGO’s efforts complement each other. Supporting and protecting the ecology with green energy solution, creation of employment opportunity and providing thrust towards economic independence; this partnership will actually bear positive impact on sustainable development of our country. I therefore congratulate both partners and obsequiously view this as a timely move towards our Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and overall development of  the nation."

These 3000 bikes are the first of the lot from the ambitious pool of 30,000 bikes, that eBikeGO is targeting to convert to EV out of the current running base of 3crore two-wheeler on Indian roads. In the phase 1, the deployment plan of these bikes will be across 7 cities with targets of nearly-  900 in Delhi, 700 in Mumbai, 700 in Bangalore, 200 in Pune, 150 in Amritsar, 150 in Hyderabad and 200 in Jaipur.  

Commenting on the association, Dr. T.Irfan Khan, Founder & CEO, eBikeGO adds,“  Our interest in this collaboration is twofold , firstly  it is in line with our ambition to push EV adoption in India and work towards the vision of  Aatmanirbhar Bharat by being less fuel dependent on other countries. This will have a positive impact on the country's GDP and enable EV adopters to avail an eco-friendly, and economy travel. Secondly, this is a great way to drive employability through a new age business opportunity - an investment of Rs. 10lacs if made in a commercial shop, will employ at best 4-6 people. But 10 lacs worth investment through eBikego’s business partnership, if made in a fleet of EV bikes promises to employ about 50 people who may be 10th pass, and can become economically independent as delivery executives, through a basic 15-day training module of driving electric vehicles.”

Talking about the business partnership, Abhijit Sinha, Country Director, ASSAR elucidates, “Our vision to facilitate ease of doing business resonates well with the Prime Minister’s call to search for opportunities in the times of crisis for - Atmanirbhar Bharat. This alliance with eBikeGO is befitting and correctly timed and comes as direct move towards employment generation to the tune of 10,000+ every quarter with deployment of electric bikes.”

Employment, environment, EV adoption, economy, entrepreneurship et al ; there are many firsts to this alliance. We are excited for the times ahead and commit ourself to facilitate an overall ease, safety and sound business environment for the EV sector. Our vision is to ultimately make electric mobility most affordable, most easy and most scalable in India” he adds.
