Creatara Mobility Pvt Ltd, a New Delhi-based startup, was founded in 2018 by two IIT Delhi graduates, Vikas Gupta and Ringlarei Pamei. The company aims to address the challenges of electric vehicle adoption in the two-wheeler space, particularly focusing on safety concerns, range anxiety, and perceived compromises in design and performance.
To kickstart their venture, Creatara Mobility secured funding through a combination of seed funding, angel investments, and strategic partnerships. They leveraged resources from IIT Delhi and tapped into various governmental grant schemes such as those offered by the Department of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Heavy Industry. These funds were primarily allocated for product development and research and development (R&D) efforts.
After several years of groundwork, the company recently announced the completion of pre-production models of their 72V battery-powered lifestyle e2ws.
Your company was created in 2018 and in 2023 you have showcased two production-ready electric scooter prototypes — the VS4 and VM4. Have these products actually been launched?
The VS4 and VM4 prototypes have been soft launched and they are currently in the final stages of production. We are gearing up for an official launch of the e-scooters in the coming months.
What is the company’s retail model based on?

Tell us more about the products. How were they conceived? Where was the design done and how were the engineering aspects developed? Are the specifications the same as the pre-production prototypes?
