On this week’s episode #CyrusDrives presented by Volvo Car India, Cyrus is joined by Punit K Goyal, Co-Founder of BluSmart - India’s first all-electric ride-hailing service. The episode is shot in the Volvo XC40 Recharge electric car.

In the episode, Cyrus & Punit talk about the origins of ‘BluSmart’ and the journey for India’s first all-electric ride-hailing service since then. Punit busted some of the most common myths about EVs, like, range issues, availability of charging stations, charging capacity, etc. And he also tells how BluSmart is working ahead of all these myths. He shares the story of how Cyrus’ best friend - Deepika Padukone, became an investor in the company. Punit also gives his take on adapting to complete carbon neutrality by the automotive industry and the country itself. Cyrus & Punit discuss some interesting facts about BluSmart, such as their driver-to-EV ratio, BluSmart’s EV Stations, and how BluSmart is working towards generating more employment - gender inclusive. And they also discuss the actual ways of going ahead with smart mobility. Tune in for this and much more!
