Team PlugInIndia is in New Delhi, India's capital city. We plan to visit manufacturers of Electric Vehicles, meet EV community members and government officials. We also are organising an EV community/industry meetup this Saturday! This photo blog documents the events of Day 1 and 2!
So in Delhi, i was joined by Farah Halim, who arrived from Mumbai at the airport. Raphae Halim could not join us due to personal commitments. I had to rush to JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) and "check-in" at our friends home inside the beautiful JNU campus. Soumya and Raman live at JNU and were gracious to offer me their apartment!
Farah "checked-in" at her relative's home at greater Kailash.
One of the objective of this trip is to visit companies working on electric mobility. We would like to build relationships, which will enable PlugInIndia to work with these companies for a long time into the future.
Some of the companies based out of the NCR, whom we plan to visit are listed below
The other objective of this trip is to interact with government officials working on policies regarding EVs.
And the most important objective was to meet wonderful people who represent the EV community in Delhi !
The EV community are so friendly and supportive, that is always a pleasure to come here.
We are also organising a EV community/Industry event on Saturday at Aravalli BioDiversity Park, Gurgaon.
We are hoping to get Hero Electric, Okinawa scooters and Mahindra Electric to participate.
