#News(Startup) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Micro-mobility and sustainability emerged as key themes, highlighted by our panellists. According to Amit Gupta, co-founder of Yulu – an electric bike rental service- “2/3rds of all trips in any city are under 5 kms. We want to enable this in an environmentally sustainable manner through our new Miracle electric bike offering.” Dunzo uses a similar approach. Kabeer, Dunzo’s founder, stressed on the need to invest in smart cities and bring all the stakeholders to the table. “Currently, who do you speak to about urban planning?”, Kabeer questioned, trying to highlight the disconnect between solutions offered by startups and long term infrastructure projects planned by government bodies.
The same seems to apply to office commute too. Sriram, founder of Routematic – an employee transportation management startup, mourned how crumbling infrastructure has “chocked” peak hour travel in cities like Pune where Routematic currently manages 60,000 optimised trips per day. Kapil of RailYatri reaffirmed that moving forward, startups face a balancing act between capital efficiency and quality standardization. “The segment is moving from value for money to money for value”, he said, where consumers are willing to pay for a better experience.
