Speaking on the expansion, Amit Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, Yulu, said, “Chandigarh Tricity is a fast-emerging urban centre and an ideal starting point for our expansion in North India. With Sahil Goyal as our partner, we’re confident in our ability to accelerate EV adoption in the region, starting with Zirakpur. The Tricity’s dynamic growth, demand for green logistics, and policy support for EVs align well with Yulu’s mission to build a cleaner, more efficient urban mobility ecosystem.”
“With this launch, Yulu is present in ten cities, including six through our YBP partners. We remain committed to collaborating with entrepreneurs across India to democratise clean, accessible and sustainable mobility alternatives,” he added.
Yulu’s comprehensive support to its partner includes training on the operations and growth playbook, unit economics, profitability pathways and enterprise collaboration. Ahead of the launch, pilot deployments were conducted in various brands’ dark stores in Zirakpur to validate product-market fit. Yulu has also facilitated direct business linkages with Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto and Blinkit to ensure early-stage success.
