Entrepreneur Background
Kshitij Bajaj (Founder & CEO) is the engineering and product architecture lead. One is in business for all his life, the other has 16+ years of experience in automotive technology and electrical engineering. Kshitij's decade and a half in the Indian automotive industry gave him the technical depth to design a vehicle not by converting an existing three-wheeler to electric power — the approach most competitors took — but by engineering the OTUA as a ground-up EV from the chassis up. Kanav Manchanda (Co-founder & COO) manages operations, partnerships, and commercial development. His hospitality and family business background contributes commercial and relationship management skills that complement Kshitij's engineering expertise.
The Product / Service
OTUA is India's first ground-up designed electric cargo three-wheeler — a 100% Made-in-India electric commercial vehicle with an industry-leading 165 km range (upgradable to 300+ km), 900 kg payload capacity (double the market standard), proprietary DanTECH lithium-ion battery technology designed for Indian climatic conditions, anti-tilt safety technology, driver ergonomics designed to reduce fatigue and accidents, and modular body configurations for logistics, passenger transport, or food truck use — targeted at India's ₹5 billion growing last-mile delivery and logistics market.
