VOICE (formerly EV91Technologies), an EV mobility startup has raised ₹5 crore in a seed funding round led by BizDateUp, an ecosystem enabler for startups.
The funds will be used to scale its operations by deploying 2,500 electric vehicles (EVs) and expanding its presence across Tier 2 cities in India, thereby broadening its impact on sustainable last-mile delivery solutions.
Arun Kumar, Founder and CEO of VOICE said, “Our mission is to revolutionize last-mile delivery logistics through sustainable mobility and manpower solutions. Our fleet of EVs has already proven that electric vehicles can deliver exceptional performance while significantly reducing operational costs.” He added, “With the support of this investment, we’re poised to accelerate our growth and expand our innovative EV solutions into underserved Tier-2 cities, driving India toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Furthermore, the durability of our vehicles, combined with a robust service network, ensures we uphold our high service standards as we scale.”
Jeet Chandan, Founder of BizDateUp said, “The industrial products sector serves as a backbone of the Indian economy. According to a report, the logistics Industry alone is responsible for 25% of the global carbon emissions. Therefore with increasing support from government policies and initiatives, businesses are now recognizing the importance of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their core strategies.”
He further added, “VOICE exemplifies the future of logistics, one that integrates sustainability, technology, and innovation. At BizDateUp, we are committed to investing in companies driving positive environmental change and building a smarter, greener world. We firmly believe in VOICE’s vision and are confident in their potential to transform the logistics landscape with their innovative solutions.”
