I thank Pankaj Malhan Sir for collaborating with us in this noble initiative,” said Gaurav Rathore, CEO of EVeez.

With this, ESL has become the first business in the Vedanta Group to launch electrical bicycles and electric scooters in the plant premises for its employees. As we get future-ready, I cannot thank EVeez enough for their support and help that takes us an inch closer to our goal.
