• The investment was led by the startup’s existing investors Inventus India and Jetty Ventures.
• This takes Euler Motors’ total fundraise, so far, to ₹65 crore.
• The company already has over 250 electric three-wheelers, which have been deployed by startups like BigBasket, EcomExpress and Udaan in Delhi-NCR.

Electric vehicle startup Euler Motors has raised ₹30 crore as a part of its series A fundraise. This takes its total fundraise, so far, to ₹65 crore.

The investment was led by the startup’s existing investors Inventus India and Jetty Ventures, and also saw participation from another existing investor Sujeet Kumar, co-founder of online B2B trade platform Udaan. Meanwhile new investors Srinivas Anumolu & K Ganesh from Growth Story too joined in on this round.

Founded in 2018, the startup is also looking to launch new electric three-wheelers this year. The company already has over 250 electric three-wheelers, which have been deployed by startups like BigBasket, EcomExpress and Udaan in Delhi-NCR.

With the latest investment the company plans to build a new production facility as well as expand its charging and servicing infrastructure.

“The new investment has come at a time when the company has demonstrated extreme resilience during the pandemic and is now all set for the next phase of growth. I am delighted that our existing investors trust our vision and execution; and have chosen to continue to invest in Euler Motors,” Saurav Kumar, founder and chief executive officer of Euler Motors said in a statement.

Kumar is no new face in the Indian startup ecosystem. In 2012, Kumar along with two others had founded the technology start-up Cube26, which had made news for its funding from Tiger Global Management and Flipkart. The startup was later acquired by Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s Paytm.

With Euler Motors, Kumar is now betting on India’s burgeoning EV market, which has the likes of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance and Elon Musk’s Tesla making their presence felt.
