Ease of Doing Business

What Ease of Doing Business does

Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) Services is a privately held Special Purpose Entity (SPC) headquartered in New Delhi, India, operating since 2014 as India's emerging tech-piloting agency. The organization functions as an intermediary platform coordinating pilot programs across government ministries, industry OEMs, academic institutions, and startups to commercialize emerging technologies including AI, IoT, blockchain, electric mobility, healthtech, drones, cloud computing, robotics, and geospatial systems. Its core program, National Highways for Electric Vehicles (NHEV), anchors a portfolio of initiatives spanning DIISHA (digital health), Drone Pilot (UAS commercialization), CPOS India (charge point operator coordination), Climate Financing, Viksit Bharat National Master Plan 2047, and Ease of Living/Ease of Moving frameworks. Proprietary technical components include the Connected Commercial Vehicle (CCV) Protocol, Driving Score analytics system, AHEM financing model, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Pilot with IoT/AI integration, and an Electric Road System (ERS) Pilot targeting 5,500 km of e-highways.

EoDB's business model is professional services-oriented rather than product-based: it provides advanced technical and commercial piloting services to government agencies (NITI Aayog, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) while brokering co-development partnerships with OEMs and technology providers. Notable commercial partners include Montra Electric eHCV (deployment of 1,000+ electric trucks, announced September 2025), CJ Darcl Logistics (heavy electric freight pilots, July 2026), and Netradyne (AI-driven fleet safety technology for e-highways, June 2026). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and pricing is not transparent, consistent with its role as a government-linked SPC. The entity has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiary structure, and leadership is anchored by National Program Director Abhijeet Sinha and Executive Director Astha Kukreti, supported by a small team of 11-50 staff handling program direction, media production, accounts, and stakeholder coordination.
