Commenting on the partnership,Uday Narang, Founder, and Chairman, Omega Seiki Mobilitysaid, “We are pleased to partner with Grip which is a customer-centric, tech-enabled new-age investment platform. The collaboration will work upon a stronger foothold of the EV in the existing market and accelerate the electrification drive. The absence of affordable financing options has proven to be a critical impediment for low-income patrons to change to EVs. Keeping with the belief system to creating sustainable mobility, OSM scouts various ways to lease and supply electric three-wheelers, adding to the current EV thrust in the country.”
Vivek Gulati, Co-Founder, and COO, Grip, said, “Since inception, Grip has partnered with 80+ venture capital-backed, high growth companies to enable asset-backed financing through Lease Financing and Inventory Financing. The Mobility sector, with a focus on EVs, has seen the maximum investments on our platform. Electric three-wheelers are an emerging segment, where leasing out the vehicle appears to be a beneficial proposition for both, the company and the retail investors looking to diversify their portfolio beyond market volatility to get fixed returns. One of the fastest-growing and integrated EV players, Omega Seiki Mobility joining hands with us, will prove to be a significant step ahead in democratizing and organizing the EV lease financing sector in India.”

Omega Seiki Mobility believes the only way to be successful in the Electric Vehicle market is through association hence, Omega Seiki Mobility has been inking multiple partnerships to make EVs more accessible and affordable and further its green drives” added Narang
