Founded in March 2020, the brains behind kWh Bikes are electrical & electronics engineers: second-time entrepreneur Siddharth Janghu, whose previous venture was backed by Tiger Global, and Kartik Gupta, who managed software projects for Tesla and BMW and moved from Silicon Valley back to India. Anupriya Kumar, ex-Big 4 economist, and advisor ideated the inception of kWh Bikes given government incentives, green credentials, amongst other benefits.
kWh Bikes is building the world's strongest, smartest, safest, and best performing multi-utility electric scooters. The team has successfully built a working prototype from scratch and is now engineering their production-ready scooter, which will be completely designed and developed in India with an in-house powertrain, something that most Indian EV OEMs are not doing. kWh Bikes has recently raised $2 million in a seed round led by Let's Venture, with Better Capital, Cloud Capital, Backer Capital, and Faad Network also participating.
