Today on the show, we have Amit Gupta and RK Misra, co-founders
of Yulu. Yulu is India's ride-sharing startup launched in December
2017. It provides a network of over 10,000 shared vehicles,
including bicycles and lightweight electric scooters, in Bengaluru,
Pune, Mumbai, and Bhubaneswar. Yulu's vision is to reduce traffic
congestion by providing a scalable, affordable, efficient, and
clean solution for the short-distance commute.
In this episode, we covered why Amit and RK decided to start Yulu
after having some successful exits, how shared mobility works in
urban India and working with the government to draft India's first
micro-mobility policy.
Before Yulu, Amit co-founded India's profitable unicorn InMobi - an
online mobile marketing and advertising platform. During his 12
years there, he grew the company's business into other markets like
China, US, and Western Europe. Amit has a bachelor's degree in
engineering from India's top university India Institute of
Technology, Kanpur.
RK is a serial entrepreneur and a public figure known for his
expertise in the nation's urban planning policy. He is an
undergraduate from IIT with a Master's Degree from Tokyo
University, also an alum of Harvard Kennedy School of
Government.
