Fully electric ride-sharing startup Hala Mobility has launched its user application and with it announced plans to deploy 15,000 e-scooters over the next 12 months.
“Our proprietary AI/ML-enabled tech stack helped us scale up in the B2B space. Now we want to leverage it for our customers and create an infrastructure that improves the adaption and penetration of electric vehicles,” founder and CEO Srikanth Reddy said.
Besides deploying 15,000 e-two-wheelers, the plan is to be in six cities, he said in a release on launch of the app by Industries and IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan. With the app, customers can book ride, charging stations or service facilities. Hala is now offering single-seater e-bikes within closed campuses of the city.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
