Raptee propels the future of electric motorcycles with grand opening of its first manufacturing plant in Chennai

Raptee
In early 2023, Raptee was awarded a grant of INR 3.27 crore from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and the Government of India.

Raptee, a premium electric motorcycle startup, has recently unveiled its maiden manufacturing factory in Chennai. This state-of-the-art facility, spanning across 3 acres, will be dedicated to the production of their highly anticipated EV motorcycles, set to hit the market later this year. Additionally, the campus will house the majority of Raptee’s skilled Research and Development team, fostering seamless collaboration and innovation within the company.

Raptee intends to make an investment of INR 85 crore in a new plant with an annual capacity of 1 Lakh units. This facility will serve as Raptee’s main production plant for the next 24 months. The company aims to hire 470 individuals to handle manufacturing and drive further design innovation in their highly anticipated motorcycles. The plant will feature a cutting-edge research and development center with advanced development and testing facilities to support future product development. Additionally, the manufacturing plant will include a specialized battery pack assembly line.

Speaking about the newly setup plant, Dinesh Arjun, Co-Founder CEO, Raptee, said “This is a huge leap forward for us. We are at an inflection point where we move from a small R&D outfit to becoming a full blown OEM and we’ve identified the perfect property to maintain the balance for the years to come. We’ve been very particular about having the R&D and Manufacturing teams in the same campus to improve collaborations in this extremely crucial period for the company and that meant the entire property will need to be inside the City. This facility ticks all those boxes and will help service our customers better.”

The centrally located property was inaugurated by Shaji Koshy, Former Sr.Vice president at Royal Enfield and an advisor to Raptee.

Commenting on the factory opening, Shaji Koshy, Former Senior VP, Royal Enfield, said, “I am extremely happy that such young minds from Chennai have been able to develop a remarkable product and I really want to support this team who has a potential to create a big impact in the EV landscape in India and Globally. Its an honour and happy moment for me to be inaugurating the new facility for Raptee, which is now moving from their small R&D centre to a full fledged OEM facility and I wish they run out of capacity very soon in this facility.”

Jayapradeep Vasudevan (JP), Chief Business Officer, Raptee, said, “This move is a big motivation for the entire team at Raptee as the new facility houses a dedicated block for the Admin and R&D, which provides a much better working ambience for our team to enjoy and contribute to the growth journey of Raptee. This facility is big enough to cater to the growing size of our team for the next two years. From a manufacturing capacity standpoint, it also gives us enough flexibility to meet the customer demand from the time of launch. The fact that the families of our team attended the inauguration reiterates the commitment of our team and their families’ support towards the success of Raptee. At this moment, as a team we are really happy and proud that we are progressing towards delivering a world class EV motorcycle and customer experience to become a Premium EV brand.”

The concept of Raptee was born in 2019 with the sole intention of democratizing electric mobility in India. Looking back, it wasn’t known how things would pan out at that time, but the founders had a clear vision of making a difference. Their goal was to transform the contemporary concept of motorcycling in today’s time and create a change that would merge innovation and sustainability. Their expertise lied in mindful innovation, and thus Raptee, a full stack electric motorcycle startup with a strong technical moat, came into existence.

The company was founded by four engineers from Chennai, who had previously worked at Tesla and Wipro. Their aim was to introduce a no-compromise electric motorcycle to an EV market dominated by scooters. They embarked on a mission to craft a motorcycle that went beyond being just an EV. They envisioned an augmented machine that incorporated an adaptive machine-learning algorithm, providing riders with a unique and personalized experience. With a team consisting of over 60 members, Raptee boasted a portfolio of 32 patents, and they continued to work towards creating a no-compromise electric motorcycle for consumers in the world’s largest motorcycle market.

Raptee’s primary objective was to offer customers a premium experience through cutting-edge technology products and the dedication of passionate individuals. Their goal was to make mobility smarter and safer for all.

In early 2023, Raptee was awarded a grant of INR 3.27 crore from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), a prominent research and development organization established by the automotive industry and the Government of India. This grant was received as part of the Advance Mobility Transformation & Innovation Foundation’s (AMTIF) Industry Accelerator program, which falls under the Capital Goods Scheme initiated by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India. The memorandum of understanding (MOUs) were exchanged during a ceremony graced by the presence of Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey, the Honorable Minister of Heavy Industries, Government of India.

With Slurrp Farm achieving an impressive turnover of 100 crores in 2023, Wholsum Foods is now expanding its offerings with Millé. This new brand focuses on providing a diverse range of health foods centered around millets, enriched with high levels of plant protein and fiber. Millé aims to cater to customers of all ages who prioritize their well-being. By expertly combining the nutritional benefits of millets, lentils, and legumes, Millé offers an ideal choice for health-conscious individuals looking to elevate their meals with top-quality plant protein.

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, which prompted a heightened focus on well-being, Millé has responded with a delectable and nourishing range of products that cater to health-conscious customers. Their offerings boast a combination of delicious taste and nutritional benefits, featuring high plant protein, fiber, natural ingredients, and minimal sugar content. Millé’s current product lineup encompasses an assortment of options, such as breakfast cereals, pancakes, cake mixes, and gluten-free alternatives for rice and wheat. This extensive selection ensures a diverse range of daily foods and snacks that promote a wholesome lifestyle.

Anushka Sharma, the popular Bollywood actor who has been serving as the brand ambassador for Wholsum Foods and an investor since 2022, recently took to Instagram to provide a glimpse into her hectic lifestyle. Known for her strong support of healthy living and sustainable eating, she emphasized the significance of including Millé in her daily meals.

Launched in 2023, coinciding with the UN’s designation of it as the ‘International Year of Millets,’ Millé is an innovative supergrain company actively promoting the consumption of this nutrient-rich, climate-smart grain.

Colgate-Palmolive remains optimistic about rural market recovery in India despite economic challenges and slow growth

0

According to Colgate-Palmolive, the urban market in India has shown signs of recovery, while the rural areas are experiencing slower growth. This can be attributed to factors such as inflation, declining incomes, and limited job opportunities. Despite these challenges, Colgate-Palmolive remains optimistic and anticipates a pickup in the rural market during the second half of the year. It’s worth noting that Colgate-Palmolive’s toothpaste is used by every second Indian, highlighting its significant market presence.

“Real incomes have come down and the general level of unemployment in rural India is very high. The impact of inflation on them is very high,” Mukul Deoras, President, Asia Pacific at Colgate-Palmolive, said at the Evercore ISI annual consumer and retail conference.

By volume, the country’s overall toothpaste market was down 2-3% in the March quarter, with marginal growth in urban and mid-single-digit decline in rural markets. “But there is confidence that the rural market, which is lagging, will actually start getting better in the second half of the year, assuming all the other things like monsoon and so on are good,” said Deoras, who is also the chairman of Colgate India.

The company behind the eponymous toothpaste brand said when compared to China, the Indian market has a significantly lower online and modern trade contribution, slower pace of premiumisation and low per-capita consumption. Besides, the annual per-capita consumption of toothpaste in urban India is about 200 grams and 100 grams in villages, lower than nearly 300 grams in China.

“The per-capita consumption in India is very low. And therefore, that in itself strategically is a very big opportunity for us because if we don’t drive per-capita consumption in India, then it’s not going to happen. As market leaders, we have to do everything that we can to drive the per-capita consumption, and that remains our single biggest opportunity,” said Deoras, adding that the company’s market share trend is stable and has started inching up.

Consumers would now have to pay less for edible oils as the Indian government has reduced basic import duty on refined soyabean oil and refined sunflower oil by 5 per cent, which is effective from Thursday.

The import duty on refined soybean oil and refined sunflower oil has been decreased from 17.5 percent to 12.5 percent.

This measure will further support the government’s previous efforts to decrease the prices of edible oils in the domestic market.

The basic import duty is an important factor which impacts the landed cost of edible oils which in turn affects the domestic prices.

The reduction in import duty on refined sunflower oil and refined soybean oil will prove advantageous to consumers by alleviating domestic retail prices.

In October 2021, the import duties on refined soybean oil and refined sunflower oil were decreased from 32.5 percent to 17.5 percent.

This was done as during the year 2021, the international prices were very high, which was getting reflected in the domestic prices as well, official sources said.

Discover the secret formula to crafting gorgeous, Insta-worthy buddha bowls that will leave your followers drooling!

buddha bowls

In the vast and vibrant world of culinary creations, there’s one dish that has captured the hearts and taste buds of food enthusiasts around the globe—the Buddha Bowl. These delightful bowls of goodness not only pack a nutritional punch but also showcase a kaleidoscope of colors and flavors that are guaranteed to make your Instagram followers drool with envy. Are you ready to unveil the secret formula behind crafting gorgeous, Insta-worthy Buddha bowls that will leave everyone craving for more? Join us on this culinary adventure as we delve into the art of creating picture-perfect Buddha bowls that are as stunning as they are delicious!

  • Choose Vegetables with Good Color Variety:

The key to a visually striking bowl starts with the selection of vegetables. Opt for an assortment of vegetables that offer a wide range of colors. Vibrant bell peppers, rich purple cabbage, radiant cherry tomatoes, golden beets, and deep orange carrots are just a few examples. The more diverse your vegetable selection, the more dynamic and eye-catching your bowl will be.

  • Choose Colors That Contrast Well:

When it comes to creating an ‘Insta-worthy’ bowl, contrasting colors are your best friend. Look for color combinations that create a visually pleasing contrast. For instance, pairing bright green kale with vibrant red tomatoes or purple radishes with yellow corn can make your bowl pop and capture attention. The contrasting hues add depth and excitement to your composition.

  • Consider Following a Color Theme:

If you want to take your bowl aesthetics to the next level, consider following a color theme. Choose a specific color palette or theme, such as a rainbow bowl with an array of colorful ingredients or a monochromatic bowl with shades of green. This intentional approach to color coordination creates a visually cohesive and stunning presentation.

  • Focus on Greens:

While colors are essential, don’t underestimate the power of lush greens in your bowl. Incorporating an abundance of leafy greens not only adds a fresh and vibrant element but also provides a nutritional boost. Spinach, kale, arugula, and lettuce varieties can serve as a beautiful backdrop to showcase the other colorful ingredients in your bowl.

  • Play with Different Textures:

Visual appeal goes beyond colors alone. Texture plays a significant role in creating an ‘Insta-worthy’ bowl. Mix and match ingredients with varying textures to add visual interest. Crispy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado slices, crunchy seeds, or tender grilled vegetables can elevate the overall aesthetic and provide a delightful sensory experience.

Four Essential Components of a Nourishing Buddha Bowl

Grain/Starch: The Wholesome Base

Every Buddha bowl needs a hearty foundation, and that comes in the form of grains or starches. Whether you opt for quinoa, brown rice, sweet potatoes, or whole-wheat couscous, this component provides sustenance and a satisfying texture. The grain or starch serves as the anchor of the bowl, offering a source of complex carbohydrates that provide energy and satiety.

Protein: The Building Blocks

Protein is a crucial element in any balanced meal, and a Buddha bowl is no exception. Choose a protein source that suits your dietary preferences, such as grilled chicken, tofu, chickpeas, black beans, or tempeh. These protein-rich ingredients not only add depth and flavor to your bowl but also help keep you feeling satisfied and energized.

Healthy Fat: The Nutrient Booster

Incorporating healthy fats into your Buddha bowl is essential for both flavor and nutritional benefits. Avocado slices, roasted nuts and seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil provide a dose of heart-healthy fats that enhance the overall taste and texture of the bowl. Healthy fats also aid in nutrient absorption and promote satiety, making your Buddha bowl a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

Colorful Fruits or Vegetables: The Visual Delight

One of the defining features of a Buddha bowl is its vibrant array of colorful fruits and vegetables. Load up your bowl with an abundance of fresh produce, including leafy greens, roasted vegetables, crunchy bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, and sweet berries. Not only do these colorful ingredients make your bowl visually appealing, but they also offer an array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health.

Final Thoughts:

A well-balanced and visually captivating Buddha bowl comprises four essential components: a wholesome grain or starch base, a protein source for strength and satiety, healthy fats to nourish and enhance flavors, and an abundance of colorful fruits and vegetables for visual delight and nutritional goodness. As you embark on your Buddha bowl adventures, remember to experiment with different combinations, flavors, and textures to create your own personalized masterpiece. Enjoy the harmony of flavors and the nourishment these bowls bring, while savoring each bite of this delightful culinary creation.
