What Ultraviolette Automotive does

Ultraviolette Automotive Private Limited, incorporated in 2016 in Bengaluru, India, designs and manufactures high-performance electric two-wheelers built on a vertically integrated EV platform. Co-founded by Narayan Subramaniam (CEO) and Niraj Rajmohan (CTO), the company develops in-house battery packs (SRB-10 at 10.3 kWh for motorcycles, SRB-6 at 6 kWh for the upcoming scooter platform), motors, motor controllers, vehicle software, and a connected vehicle stack branded Violette A.I. Its vehicle portfolio spans the F77 sport and F77 SuperStreet street motorcycles, the X-47 Crossover (the world's first production 2W with integrated Gen 6 77 GHz radar), the pre-launch Tesseract electric scooter (India's first 100V scooter architecture), the pre-launch Shockwave electric funduro, and the F99 Factory Racing Platform. Vehicles are priced from Rs 1.45 lakh (Tesseract) to Rs 2.99 lakh (F77 SuperStreet) in India, with premium positioning and 5-year/100,000 km battery warranty.

The company monetizes primarily through direct hardware sales via 40+ UV SpaceStation experience centers in 35+ Indian cities (planned to reach 100 cities by mid-2026) operated by regional dealer partners, supplemented by its own online configure-and-book flow. International distribution runs through country-specific partners — MotoMondo in the UK, Zero Center in Germany/Switzerland, and Elektrorider across six Central/Eastern European markets — with the F77 line live in 19 European countries. Recurring revenue is being built via the 'Battery Flex' Battery-as-a-Service subscription (Rs 2,499/month via Ecofy NBFC) and an accessories/lifestyle business (UV Crossfade smart helmet at Rs 19,900, UV Lync, UV Airspace). FY26 revenue reached Rs 130 crore (up from Rs 36.1 crore in FY25), with cumulative funding of approximately $140M+ including a $66M Series E (TDK Ventures, Zoho, Lingotto/Exor), and the company has signaled a public listing within 18-24 months.
