Yulu Becomes EBITDA Profitable, Annual Recurring Revenue Crosses $30 Million

- October 07, 2024
Yulu, an electric vehicle and shared mobility start-up, has announced that it has become India’s largest EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) profitable shared electric mobility company and also has crossed an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $30 million (INR 2.5 billion).
This milestone has been achieved through Yulu’s product-market fit, the surging demand for quick commerce and food delivery services, and policy tailwinds.
The company claims to have over 40,000 EVs and has added more than seven-fold (7X) customers over the last 24 months.
Armed with a scalable growth engine powered by its AI-enabled full-stack EV platform, and supported by Yuma Energy – one of India’s largest battery-swapping networks – Yulu has been instrumental in fueling the hypergrowth of quick commerce. As an integral part of the delivery ecosystem, Yulu has significantly contributed to Sustainable Development Goals by enabling green deliveries to millions of consumers across 11 cities in India.
Amit Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, Yulu said, “Yulu is delighted to achieve the EBITDA-positive milestone. As the country’s largest shared electric mobility player, Yulu is a critical enabler for the instant delivery revolution. The simplicity and ease of our platform allow gig workers without vehicles to join the delivery workforce, while also addressing the crucial supply gap in the quick commerce value chain. With its best-in-industry technology stack and reliable and purpose-built EVs by Bajaj Auto, Yulu stands out with a unique advantage and unmatched scalability. We’re excited about the future and look forward to seizing the vast opportunities in instant and hyperlocal deliveries.”
Yulu is now doubling down on its plan to deploy 100,000 EVs by 2025. To finance this expansion, the company will raise $100 million (INR 8.3 billion) in Series C debt and equity funding over the next 12 months.
The EV maker states delivery riders prefer its e-scooters since it enables 30-40 percent higher savings over ICE vehicles. To date, the company has enabled better livelihoods for over 1,50,000 riders – including women – and their families.
The value proposition of Yulu’s purpose-built EV platform also lowers delivery companies’ logistics and manpower costs and has enabled the company to build deep partnerships with food delivery and quick commerce businesses like Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy, and others.
Owing to these factors, in areas served by Yulu, the company has nearly 100 percent coverage of dark stores. Yulu’s EVs comprise 35 percent (in some cases, up to 80 percent) of all vehicles at the store level. Its strong market presence enables Yulu to power over 20 million green deliveries every month.
Going forward, Yulu plans to launch a mid-speed electric two-wheeler, which will be unveiled before the year-end. With a top speed of 45kmph, the EV will cater to additional use cases like bike taxis, e-commerce deliveries, long-distance food orders, and courier services, besides higher-payload goods deliveries
