BluSmart | EV Ride-hailing Startup

Founded by Anmol Jaggi and Punit Goyal in 2019, BluSmart Mobility is an all-electric shared smart mobility platform offering efficient, affordable, intelligent and sustainable mobility. The startup has a fleet of electric vehicles that run on clean energy, promoting sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

Anmol Singh Jaggi, co-founder and CEO, BluSmart, stated that the path to electrification has several challenges. Jaggi added,

“BluSmart tackles these challenges through a full-stack approach consisting of a born electric tech stack, complete control over EV charging infrastructure and choosing locations to build large scale EV charging infrastructure, optimally maintaining the EV ride-hailing fleet at scale.” 

BluSmart Mobility offers EV ride-hailing services and charging infrastructure across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and other megacities in India. It claims to have completed more than 5.3 Mn rides so far, travelling 180 Mn+ zero-carbon kilometres in the process.

Backed by prominent VC firms like Alteria Capital, BP Ventures, BlackSoil, Stride Ventures, Mumbai Angels, and LetsVenture, among others, BluSmart has raised $109 Mn across its seed to Series A-2 rounds which includes an equity raise of $85 Mn raised across the Series A rounds. 

Last year in May, BluSmart raised $25 million in an extended Series A round, which is a follow-up to the Series A funding round that closed in September 2021. 

The electric mobility segment in India has developed into multiple different subsectors, including ride-hailing services, battery manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, and charging infrastructure providers.

Catering to this segment, Kazam, an electric mobility software platform for charge-point operators and electricity grid management platform, raised about $3.6 million in a fresh funding round led by Avaana Capital Fund. In March 2023, electric vehicle charging firm CHARGE+ZONE raised $54 million in equity and debt funding to expand the high-speed charging network in the country. The funding round was led by BlueOrchard Finance, along with existing and new institutional investors. 

Evera, a Delhi-based electric vehicle (EV) cab service provider, has raised $7 Mn in multiple tranches as part of its Pre-Series A funding round.
