Kochi: An India based lifestyle e-mobility start-up, VAAN Electric Moto Private Limited had its global launch at the EICMA motorcycle show in Italy. With this global launch last month, VAAN has probably become the first-ever e-mobility start-up to do so from India. The start-up, helmed by a Malayali, is all set for their brand launch in India too. The start-up was born from the idea to have a premium e-mobility brand for India which will be available in the global market. It is recognised by Startup India and Kerala start-up mission.
Jithu Sukumaran Nair, Founder and CEO of VAAN e-mobility is a Keralite who was working as the General Manager of Shipbuilding and Design at Ultradeep Subsea of Singapore when the idea was conceived. The products that VAAN intends to bring to the market include e-bikes, e-mopeds, e-scooters and even e-boats.
“The branding of the company is being done by an Austria based firm, KISKA which belongs to KTM. They do brand development and product development. Vaan has a technology partnership with the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturer Benelli. We also launched our products at the motorcycle show in Italy. The first phase of our products includes electric cycles (e-bikes), kids’ superbikes and apparel,” said Jithu.
