How Do You Build an EV #Startup in Just Three Years? Here’s How Oben Electric Is Leading the Charge! In the heart of Bengaluru, an ambitious vision was born: to bring world-class electric motorcycles to India and beyond. Oben Electric, founded by the dynamic Madhumita Agrawal in August 2020, has achieved remarkable growth by following a powerful guiding principle: “Design in India for the World.” Madhumita, a seasoned #entrepreneur and visionary, saw the untapped potential in India’s two-wheeler market and the growing need for sustainable mobility. Today, Oben Electric stands as a symbol of resilience, creativity, and cutting-edge R&D, with a team carrying over 25 years of collective experience in EV technology. With an impressive 25+ patents, they are not just building electric motorcycles; they’re revolutionizing how we think about performance and safety in electric mobility. Why Oben Electric Stands Out: ✅ Pioneering Battery Technology - Oben’s advanced LFP battery chemistry ensures longer life, better safety, and reduced environmental impact. ✅ Homegrown Innovation - Designed, developed, and manufactured in India, Oben’s motorcycles are tailored for the unique needs of Indian roads and climate. ✅ A Transformative Vision - With a commitment to quality and affordability, Oben Electric isn’t just making motorcycles—they’re making high-performance, eco-friendly vehicles accessible to all. As Oben expands into new cities and international markets, their story is a testament to what’s possible when passion meets purpose. At Avinya Ventures, we are proud to support founders like Madhumita, who are paving the way for a sustainable future. Here’s to many more milestones with Oben Electric, driving India’s #electricmobility story forward. #ElectricVehicles #Innovation #Sustainability #CleanMobility Sagar Thakkar Dinkar Agrawal We Founder Circle Neeraj Tyagi Shubham Chaturvedi Bhawna B.

It was an honor to meet the legendary Tim Draper and listen to his views on the Indian market and Venture Capital last week in Mumbai—a big thanks to the team at TiE Mumbai for organizing the event. While there is much information available on his investments and thesis on the internet, it is always a pleasure to listen to the insights live. Out of all the data and information he shared, a couple of points stuck with me: 1. The VCs need to be empathetic to founders and support them through tough times, not just when they are going up. 2. There should be limited regulation to allow innovation to happen and for an innovation-focused ecosystem to thrive. 3. A VC's mindset should primarily be focused on the growth potential of startups rather than capital protection. 4. LPs need to give India more time to give the kind of returns that the VCs can achieve in the US market. Indian VC and startup ecosystem is still maturing and needs a couple of more fund cycles to realize its potential. Hope to learn more from him. #investing #startups #venturecapital We Founder Circle EvolveX Accelerator Invstt WFC Global Avinya Ventures
