With a purpose to make India carbon-free by employing an ecosystem of electric vehicles and EV based technologies, Zypp Electric, India’s Leading Tech-Enabled EV-as-a-Service platform, was formed in 2017. Its goal is to make last mile logistics sustainable and emission-free. According to Zypp Electric’s business plan, local retailers, e-commerce behemoths, and delivery personnel can receive last-mile deliveries without releasing any carbon emissions, resulting in lower delivery costs and pollution on an asset-light business model. Currently, the business uses fully automated, IoT and AI-enabled scooters that are high-performing and low-maintenance to deliver groceries, medications, food, and e-commerce packages from point A to point B. The technology keeps track of batteries that may be swapped out via Zypp swapping stations, which are situated at important touchpoints. In addition to lowering delivery costs and assisting in the reduction of pollutants in the city, eco-friendly EV services. Over 7000 Zypp EVs and Pilots (delivery executives) are currently contributing to this mission, and that number is steadily rising.
Zomato, which was introduced in 2010, is an online platform that links users with restaurants and delivery services to meet their various demands. Customers use our platform to look for and find restaurants, read and write reviews submitted by other customers, see and upload images, order food delivery, reserve a table, and pay for meals when dining out. On the other side, we offer our restaurant partners sector-specific marketing tools that let them communicate with and attract clients to expand their businesses in addition to offering a dependable and effective last mile delivery service. Additionally, we run a one-stop procurement service called Hyper pure that provides premium kitchenware and ingredients to our restaurant partners. We also provide open and flexible pay options to our delivery partners.
Electric scooters will be used for last-mile deliveries by electric mobility startup Zypp Electric, in partnership with Zomato, by 2024, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
