Dr. Heramb Shelke was always concerned about rising pollution, the depletion of non-renewable resources, and increase in the prices of fuel. The thought of providing affordable mobility for middle-class families led him to start up in the electric vehicles space and so this mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur put all his efforts into establishing a one of its kind Electric Vehicle Company called VTRO Motors private limited in Pune.
“The Electric Vehicle (EV) is a nascent industry in India. Globally EVs have been commercially available for some time, but their popularity has been growing only in the recent years. There is a public sentiment for green alternatives to traditional fuels and to move from IC engines. Comforting progress (not but life-changing pace yet) has been seen in technology development to support EV charging capabilities and efficiency of usage in real-life conditions. With the current shift from traditional to technology-based smart solutions, electric vehicles are the future,” says Dr. Shelke
VTRO motors private limited aims at launching a consolidated ecosystem that pieces together the challenges that EV market faces at this point in time like expensive battery replacements, lack of dedicated parking spots, exiguity of charging infrastructure, etc. and turn them into invaluable opportunities. The company manufactures a completely IOT enabled bike with unique designs, unisex compact frame, excellent battery life with battery charging and swapping stations webbed all across the city.
If you ask Dr. Shelke about his earlier ventures before establishing an electric vehicles business, he is happy to recall how he established two of the most iconic and acclaimed lounges in the city of Pune namely 1BHK superbar and 2BHK Diner & Keyclub, both of which have received many awards for their scrumptious food, unparalleled service and aesthetic decors. “We hear so many inspirational stories in our day-to-day life, the one common string which is attached to all of them is their passion and never say never attitude. All these success stories are about people who have pushed their limits and have stood their ground, even amidst many challenges on their path to become the best versions in their chosen industries” says Heramb.
