Yuma Energy (Yuma), a joint venture between Magna and Yulu, has announced the appointment of Deepak Nanwani as the Head of Revenue and Operations. Nanwani has decades of experience across consumer technology companies in the mobility and logistics industries.
In this role, he will focus on building a strong Yuma network to enable anxiety-free e-mobility for the masses, building business partnerships with OEMs to bring them onto Yuma’s network, and implementing processes to create ongoing positive customer experiences.
Nanwani, an IIT-IIM alumnus, started his professional journey as a consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Later, he joined Uber, where he set up processes to help the business scale, leveraging tech, automation and also invested in developing strong relationships with all external stakeholders. Prior to Yulu, Deepak headed the marketplace function for Meesho Superstore. He has also worked with Amazon (London), building an operational excellence team for Amazon Flex Europe, one of Amazon’s fastest-growing last-mile channels.
Matteo Del Sorbo, Executive Vice President and Global Lead, New Mobility, Magna, said, “Yuma is at the forefront of building the energy network for the future of mobility. As the largest Battery-as-a-Service player in the country, Yuma is committed to bringing innovation, the latest technology and creating affordable access for all. Deepak joins us at a critical inflection point in Yuma’s story. His experience in bringing partnerships, processes and people together to create profitable businesses at scale is just the kind of firepower Yuma needs. We are very excited to have him onboard.”
Nanwani added, “This opportunity is especially exciting because while we grow Yuma, we are also going to supercharge innovation in the Indian e-mobility space over the next decade. Building on my experience of working at the confluence of technology, product, and operations, and scaling up the business while ensuring a strong financial orientation is exciting. Solving with first principles thinking, creating long-term customer value, building win-win partnerships and putting together a passionate team will be my top priorities.”
