EV91 revs up Delhi streets with electric fleet and gender-first last-mile delivery push
MUMBAI: Delhi just got a jolt of clean energy, with wheels that mean business. Ev91technologies, one of India’s fastest-scaling electric mobility startups, officially rolled out its flagship electric two-wheeler operations fleet in the capital on 23 June 2025, setting its sights on both sustainable transport and urban employment equity.
The new centre in Delhi-NCR comes equipped with tools for real-time diagnostics, battery testing, servicing, and spare part replacements. The facility aims to offer dependable post-sales support for the startup’s growing fleet of electric vehicles and their delivery partners.
“Delhi is a crucial market for the EV transition, and this new centre is designed to support our customers with fast, reliable, and professional service. Our aim is to not only provide exceptional vehicles but also ensure an effortless post-sales experience that builds long-term trust”, said Ev91technologies founder & CEO Arun Kumar.
The leadership team—including Manoj Kumar (COO), Lalith Kumar (CBO), and Umesh S K (CFO)—brings a unified vision of cleaner roads and wider access to electric mobility across India. Their strategy includes not just asset deployment but creating livelihoods powered by green tech.
Industry partners present at the launch included Vaibhav Sarda from Stride, Rishabh Deo from Gogoro, Jyotir Jain from BizDateUp, and Partha Pratim from MotoVolt—signalling strong cross-sector alignment in finance, mobility, and startup innovation.
In a bold social impact move, EV91 is partnering with Zepto, Big Basket, Flipkart Minutes, and Apollo to provide two-wheelers on a rental model to gig workers unable to afford their own vehicles. The result? A scalable solution that helps riders earn while pushing India’s EV transition forward.
Women riders are firmly in focus too. EV91 is already collaborating with Rapido Pink to promote women-led fleet operations. The company plans to scale up to over 5,000 vehicles in the coming months, with 1,000 earmarked for female riders.
“Our commitment remains clear — to create dignified, green, and scalable employment for underserved women across urban India”, said Kumar.
From buzz to business, EV91Technologies appears to be wiring its growth model not just with batteries and bytes, but with purpose. Delhi, clearly, is only the first stop.

Uniqlo India signs Jasprit Bumrah as brand endorser
Cricketing star fronts new LifeWear campaign highlighting comfort and simplicity.
MUMBAI: Jasprit Bumrah just bowled a perfect yorker into fashion because when the fastest bowler in the world picks Uniqlo, even off-field style gets a pace attack. Uniqlo India has roped in Indian cricket icon Jasprit Bumrah as its brand endorser, kicking off the partnership with a fresh campaign that brings the brand’s LifeWear philosophy to life, clothing engineered for simplicity, quality and effortless comfort in daily routines.
The 30-second film shows Bumrah in relaxed, everyday moments away from the crease highlighting how the AIRism Oversized T-shirt slips seamlessly into his off-field life. The narrative quietly mirrors his journey as a fast bowler, built on consistency, instinct and the kind of fit that feels right from the first wear and only gets better with time.
Jasprit Bumrah said, “In my day-to-day life, I prefer clothing that feels comfortable and effortless, especially when I’m spending time off the field. That’s why I’m happy to be partnering with Uniqlo, the brand’s approach to everyday clothing feels like a natural extension to my personal style.”
Uniqlo India marketing director Nidhi Rastogi added, “We are proud to partner with cricket world champion Jasprit Bumrah and welcome him to the Uniqlo family. His focus on excellence, authenticity and quiet confidence reflects the essence of Uniqlo’s LifeWear philosophy.”
The campaign is now live across digital channels, social media, in-store displays and outdoor platforms, with the film and imagery rolling out alongside the announcement.
In a world where pace often means rushing, Bumrah and Uniqlo are reminding everyone that the best things in life and on the body come from calm, consistent comfort that simply shows up every day and gets the job done.
