Gandhi was the visionary lawyer and freedom fighter without whom India would not have tasted independence. His role as the father of the nation and a catalyst of change defined India’s freedom movement and our stance as a nation since.
On the 152nd birth anniversary of the father of our nation, we want to shed light on some of his teachings that continue to resonate with us at Yulu today. Our mission is rooted in his principles of societal reform and change through peaceful and non-violent methods. His foresight for a better future, and his willingness to be that catalyst of change has enabled a country to fight for and recapture its freedom. Similarly, our dream for a better future is what continues to drive us at Yulu.
Yulu started as a small seed in the minds of our founders. The idea stemmed from identifying a dearth in availability of sustainable and affordable modes of transport in India. The state of the environment in India was getting progressively worse and nearing a point of no return. We realized that we could make a significant change by introducing the novel idea of electric vehicle powered mobility, which was then blowing up in the west. Our objective was to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. So our mission was formulated to solve just that, to make urban mobility seamless, shareable, and sustainable
Today, Yulu is at the forefront of bringing about the Electric Revolution. Our values of equity and sustainability have allowed us to enter and cement our place as a smart, easy and environment friendly mode of transport.
Our journey to the top is not without its struggles and hurdles. However, our perseverance through it all and our passion to achieve what we had set out to.
In 2021 alone, YULU has grown by 2.6 times on the strength of quality and affordability of our services. We now have a fleet of 10,000 state-of-the-art custom designed electric 2 wheelers which will soon be increased to 50,000.
Throughout history, human beings have always been on the winning side of the nature debate. Over years, we have managed to slowly deplete all the earth’s natural resources. Much of the problems that our environment faces today has been caused directly or indirectly by humans.
Our greed has far surpassed our needs. Overpopulation, pollution, global warming, and environmental degradation has made it so that there is a dire situation incoming if we continue this way. One of Yulu’s primary goals has always been to make urban life more sustainable and environment friendly.
In being a pioneer in building and promoting infrastructure for electric mobility in India, Yulu has made strides in achieving their goal. The environment significantly benefits from this move to electric. Yuluites have saved more than 70 metric tonnes of carbon emission by traveling a total distance of 75 million kilometers.
Yulu’s journey is a testament to the fact that when you have a dream and the passion and drive to achieve it, anything is possible. Since its inception Yulu has grown by leaps and bounds. We started with cycles, moved to electric bikes and now even have a product to specifically cater to the growing gig economy which is empowering and providing livelihood opportunities to thousands of gig economy workers.
We began our services in Bengaluru and have now expanded into other major urban centers, including Greater Mumbai and Delhi NCR.
Slowly but surely, we have made a mark on the transport sphere in the country and have been a formidable institution in the EV and shared mobility sphere in the country.
At Yulu, we believe in the power of big dreams and the strength of bigger wills. We hope to continue on our path of achieving great things and transcending bigger boundaries.
