Tarun  Mehta,  Co­founderand  CEO,  Ather  Energy,  toldBusinessLine that  consideringAther is among the oldest elec­tric  two­wheeler  manufactur­ers,  it  was  the  right  thing  toshare  access  to  its  charginginfrastructure.

“This will increase the penet­ration of electric two­wheelersin the country,” Mehta said. Headded  that  the  company  willnot  charge  royalty  for  anyonewho  wants  to  use  Ather’s  pro­prietary technology. 

Since its inception, Ather En­ergy has invested in building afast­charging  network,  Ather

Grid,  and  has  been  providingnormal  speed  charge  optionsto all­electric two­wheelers andfour­wheelers free of cost.

ConnectorOpening  up  Ather  Energy’sconnector technology will pro­mote the use of a common con­nector,  allowing  all  electricvehicle (EV) owners to use anyfast  charging  solution  acrossthe country.

Yulu is in talks to raise a $40­million funding round for itsnew  gig  workers­focussedvehicle  Yulu  DEX.  This  fund­ing  round  will  be  a  mix  ofequity  and  debt,  CEO  AmitGupta  told  BusinessLine.  Thecompany plans to add 10,000Yulu  DEX  bikes  acrossBengaluru,  Mumbai,  andDelhi  in  the  fi�rst  phase,  byDecember 2021. 

Growing market shareThe  company  started  bikerentals  for  gig  workers  lastyear and claims to have seen agreat  market  response.  Dur­ing India’s second Covid wave,Yulu’s revenue share from gigworker  rentals  has  grown

from single­digit to almost 20per cent of the total revenue. 

“Quick commerce compan­ies  are  getting  bigger  andmost  of  these  companies  re­quire gig workers to deliver aproduct  or  a  service.  On  theother  hand,  there  are  severalpeople  in  India,  who  areeither  looking  for  employ­ment  or  additional  income.But, they do not have a drivinglicence or a bike to become agig  worker.  So  we  saw  this

white  space  for  someone  of­fering  mobility  as  a  service,”said Gupta.

As  compared  to  Yulu’speople mobility vehicles, YuluDEX  will  have  an  added  car­rier with a luggage capacity of12  kg,  better  seats,  and  high­duty  shock  absorbers.  Thesebikes  will  have  a  range  of  60km  per  charge,  a  maximumspeed of 25 km/hr , and wouldnot  require  a  driver’s  licenceto  ride.  Each  of  these  new

bikes  costs  approximately₹�50,000  to  Yulu,  which  theyrent to gig workers for a dailyfee  of  ₹�200  along  with  re­fundable  security  of  another₹�200. Yulu DEX is said to save30 per cent costs for gig work­ers as compared to what theyspend  with  petrol­poweredvehicles. 

Cost-effective vehicleAccording  to  Gupta,  a  typicaldelivery  guy  uses  Yulu  foraround 60­70 km. In compar­ison,  if  he  used  a  petrolvehicle for the same distance,the  cost  of  fuel  tself  will  be₹�200.  In  addition  to  the  fuelcosts, he will also have to paythe EMI, repair, and mainten­ance,  etc,  for  that  vehicle.  Sothe  notional  cost  is  another₹�125­250. 

Currently, 1,500 out of 7,500Yulu  bikes  in  Bengaluru  arebeing  used  by  the  gig  work­ers.

Bounce,  the  Bengaluru­headquartered  scooter  rentalstart­up,  has  begun  replacingits fl�eet of 30,000 petrol­drivenscooters with electric scooters.Rather  than  buy  the  vehiclesfrom  someone  else,  Bouncewould  make  them  in­house,the company’s Co­Founder, H RVivekananda,  told  Business-

Line today.For  this  purpose,  Bounce

today  announced  its  partner­ship  with  another  start­up,Chara,  which  manufactures‘switched  reluctance  motors’,which are magnet­free motors.Chara  will  design  the  motors,which  will  then  be  manufac­tured by a third party and sup­plied to Bounce. 

Bounce’s off�er is this: book aBounce  scooter  on  an  app,pick­up  a  nearby  vehicle  anddrop  it  off�  at  any  destination,for ₹�6 per km (though if yourdestination  is  some  far  off�

place,  there  could  be  an  addi­tional charge). 

To  the  customers,  Bounce  ismuch cheaper than a taxi or anautorickshaw.  As  for  Bounce,there  is  a  clear  profi�t  in  everykilometre the customer rides. 

For  charging,  Bounce  hastied­up  with  several  localmom­and­pop  stores  and  hasso far done “over 10 million EV­kilometers  using  this  net­work”. 

The  company  has  done  35million rides so far, since its in­ception  in  2019.  The  service  isin  several  cities,  but  mostly  inBengaluru.  In  the  pre­Covidtimes, Bounce averaged 1.2 lakhrides  a  day,  earning  a  revenueof ₹�70­80 lakh daily.

Vivekanand said that Bouncehas  raised  about  $200  millionso  far.  In  January  2020,  thecompany  raised  $105  millionfrom  a  group  of  investors  ledby Accel Partners and FacebookCo­Founder,  Eduardo  Saverin’sB Capital Group.

If the fi�rst quarter export num­bers are any indication, the in­formation technology industryis  poised  for  a  8­9  per  centgrowth  in  exports  in  the  cur­rent fi�nancial year.

The IT companies attached tothe STPI have registered exportsof  ₹�1.20­lakh  crore  in  the  fi�rstquarter ended June 30, 2021.

“During  the  pandemic  year,the IT industry displayed greatresilience to global disruptionsand delivered services and solu­tions to their clients across theglobe,”  Omkar  Rai,  Director­General  of  Software  Techno­logy  Parks  of  India  (STPI),  hassaid.

The growth was triggered byfactors  like  signifi�cant  adop­

tion  of  cloud  and  emergingtechnologies  by  enterprisesacross  industry  verticals  andrapid  digitisation  by  MSMEs(micro, small and medium en­terprises)  to  becomecompetitive.

STPI units“During  the  fi�rst  quarter  ofFY22,  the  STPI­registered  unitsrealised ₹�1.2­lakh crore exports,which would rise further in thecoming quarters,” he said.

There  are  about  5,100  unitsregistered under the STPI in dif­

ferent parts of the country. Thequantum  of  exports,  however,was a tad lower than ₹�1.27­lakhcrore  recorded  in  the  samequarter last year.

The STPI executive, however,contended  that  the  numberswere  not  comparable as  thepresent  quarter  was  precededby  a  prolonged  pandemic,while  the  fi�rst  quarter  of  lastyear was preceded by a normalyear.

“The H1 (fi�rst half) numberswould be more appropriate tocompare as that would refl�ectthe  situation  better  then,”  hesaid.

Growth driversPegging a growth rate of 8­9 percent in exports for 2021­22, theSTPI  said  fi�ntech,  medtech,edutech  and  gametech  woulddrive growth in the remainingthree quarters.

The  STPI,  in  fact,  has  up­

wardly revised the growth fore­cast. In April 2021, the STPI hadforecast that the exports wouldgrow at 5­6 per cent.

With the demand for digitaltransformation growing signi­fi�cantly, the STPI has revised thegrowth  estimates  for  the  cur­rent fi�nancial year.

As  the  businesses  embracetechnologies  like  artifi�cial  in­telligence,  machine  learning,blockchain, big data analytics,augmented  reality  and  virtualreality, the STPI expected a highsingle­digit growth rate duringthe year.

The STPI­registered compan­ies  have  registered  exportsworth ₹�5.01 lakh crore during2020­21  against  ₹�4.60  lakhcrore in 2019­20.

Karnataka  topped  the  listwith ₹�2.05 lakh crore, followedby  Maharashtra  with  ₹�96,805crore  and  Telangana  with₹�84,775 crore.

STPI pegs 8-9%

growth in 2021-22

Food delivery aggregator Zo­mato  has  posted  a  consolid­ated loss of ₹�356.2 crore dur­ing  the  quarter  ended  June30,  2021.  A  year  ago,  sameperiod,  the  loss  was  ₹�99.8crore. 

Zomato’s  total  revenuefrom  operations  jumped  to₹�844.4  crore  during  thequarter  under  review,  com­pared with ₹�266 crore in thecorresponding  period  lastyear.

In a fi�ling with the stock ex­changes,  the  company  saidrevenue  growth  was  largelyon  the  back  of  growth  in  itscore  food  delivery  businessthat  continued  to  grow  des­pite  the  severe  Covid wavestarting April. 

On  the  other  hand,  Covidsignifi�cantly  impacted  thedining­out  business  in  Q1FY22  reversing  most  of  thegains  the  industry  made  inQ4 FY21. Q1 FY22 was also oneof  the  most  challengingquarters for our team. “As thesecond  Covid wave  ravagedthe  nation,  we  were  leftscrambling  to  work  on  mul­tiple things at the same time.At  the  peak  of  the  secondwave,  almost  35  per  cent  of

our employees were battlingCovid in  their  households,”the statement said.

It said its  India food deliv­ery business continues to re­main  contribution  positive;although  the  contributionmargin  reduced  slightly  inQ1  FY22  as  compared  to  theprevious quarter on accountof  growing  investments  inaddition to the costlier busi­ness  environment  (due  tolockdowns)  in  which  thisgrowth was achieved.

Payout structureThe  statement  added  thatduring the course of the year,the company has redesignedits payout structure for its de­livery partners. “We added anadditional  fee  for  long­dis­tance  and  increase  in  fuelprices  (among  other  vari­ables)  to  ensure  delivery

partners  are  fairlycompensated.”

The  subsequent  increasein their earnings per order is15 per cent higher than whatit  was  about  a  year  ago.  Thecompany  has  increased(1.5x­2x,  depending  on  deliv­ery partner’s age and qualityon the platform) the existingcash  limit  for  its  deliverypartners,  enabling  them  toutilise  cash  collected  fromcash­on­delivery  orders  fortheir  own  spends,  therebyimproving  the  availableworking  capital  with  themfor their mid­week spends. 

This  outstanding  amountis  adjusted  against  theweekly payout, saving the de­livery  partners  time,  trips,and  cash­in­hand  defi�cits.The company said it let go ofphysical onboarding centresfor new delivery partners.
