The Indian shared electric mobility and Battery-as-a-Service player, Yulu, announced the appointment of Divay Pranav as the Director of Policy & Partnerships.
In this role, he will be responsible for strategising and building partnerships that facilitate faster adoption and greater penetration of electric mobility in general and Yulu in particular, a communication from the company stated.
He will also engage with key policymakers and other stakeholders to help create a conducive policy environment for shared Electric Vehicles (EVs) and BaaS in India.
Before this, he was acting as the Lead – Strategy and Partnerships, Adani Group, where he identified new investment opportunities for the company and led outreach to foreign technology/investment partners.
He also worked for over five years in the Make-in-India mission at Invest India, the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation agency of the Government of India, set up under the Ministry of Commerce and Industries, the release added.
R K Misra, Co-founder & President, Yulu, said electric mobility in India is at the tipping point, and this is the time for all stakeholders like the policymakers, government, industry and citizens to join hands to create the country’s electric future. Despite several favourable policy interventions from Central and State governments, shared electric mobility continues to be a challenging business domain.
Shared electric mobility and BaaS can thrive on a shared vision and the collective actions of policymakers, manufacturers, utility providers, infrastructure companies, and the community at large, he added.
