According to Ashneer, the future of ride-hailing or ride-sharing services is also electric. Currently, some of the major ride-sharing services in India are Ola and Uber.
Blue Smart Mobility is actively developing this electric ride-sharing segment (which is a new and big step towards climate change) which makes Ashneer very excited to invest in the company. With crude oil price above $100/bbl and electricity at Rs 4.5/unit, Ashneer calls it a “Logical Dhanda” (business).
No one is unaware of the success of ride-sharing services like Ola and Uber. These apps have become a part of daily public transport and have changed the way we travel the world. With the transition to electric in the future, these ride-hailing services will also adopt electric vehicles, thereby reducing carbon emissions and making Electric the future of ride-hailing services.
