Sooorya EV founder Christie Fernandez is of the firm view that when it comes to short-distance people transportation, the interests of multiple stakeholders such as operators, driver-owners, commuters, etc., are at stake. Discerning those white spaces in last-mile connectivity, his e-mobility startup has developed an 8-seater electric taxi, which is tailormade for the ridesharing segment in the emerging markets of the Indian subcontinent, ASEAN region, Africa and South America.
