00:00How did you start a business in Hyderabad?
00:30I studied here and worked for 24 months after graduation.
00:34Then I moved abroad, completed my studies and started HALA.
00:40What is the main reason for starting HALA?
00:42Who inspired you to start a company related to mobility?
00:46When we want to start a mobility company, we can't give any benefit to the customer.
00:53When we give that benefit, one customer is the delivery partner.
00:57Everyone has ignored him.
00:59Now, we can build a solution for him.
01:02We can build a leasing platform for delivery partners.
01:06We can take at least 48% of their savings to their home.
01:12We have built solutions around it.
01:14How did you get the financial support to start such a big company?
01:23Everyone in our team worked with us for the first one year.
01:29Till the first one year, we didn't get any salary.
01:31We got financial support from our friends and family.
01:35But, we didn't think about the team.
01:38So, I believe that we have reached a stage now.
01:46How many employees do you get from a startup company?
01:50Currently, we have around 100 employees from HALA Mobility.
01:57Apart from that, we have around 3,000 employees from HALA Mobility.
02:08Is HALA Mobility only available in Hyderabad or in other states?
02:14We started in Hyderabad.
02:19Then, we started in Bombay.
02:24Then, we started in Bangalore and Chennai.
02:26We started this company in the first one and a half year.
02:32We wanted to prove that electric vehicles are not easy to buy.
02:47But, data is the center.
02:49So, we wanted to see how our vehicles work across the country and across terrains.
02:56From the beginning, we thought that any manufacturer is okay.
03:01Any battery manufacturer is okay.
03:03But, if we can identify the problem before it arises, there is no better solution.
03:12Prevention is better than cure.
03:14In the next 50 days, what are your plans for your startup company?
03:20We have recently acquired 51 crores worth of land.
03:26We have decided to invest 10,000 bunds in the next 14 months.
03:34How is it?
03:35Is it already running?
03:36How are the investors responding?
03:40How are the customers responding to your company?
03:45If we look at the demand today,
03:48whether it is food delivery in 10 minutes,
03:52or buying a phone to reach home,
03:55e-commerce, quick commerce, hyper-local,
03:57in all these segments,
03:59it is essential to have a bike.
04:03As we enter the tier 2 cities,
04:08the demand is increasing.
04:10In the last 4 years of HALA,
04:13we have not left a single client.
04:16With confidence,
04:18with our partnerships,
04:19with our customer satisfaction index,
04:22we have decided to give more vehicles to the market.
04:27Why should we buy a vehicle for HALA?
04:30There are different types of vehicles for each customer.
04:34What is the specialty of your vehicle?
04:3895% uptime is something that we assure.
04:41If a customer needs a vehicle,
04:45he should be able to use it.
04:48If a customer's bike is broken,
04:51does the battery work?
04:53Does it give me range?
04:55Does it have a service center nearby?
04:58You have all these questions through one application.
05:02At the same time,
05:03if I give you an assurance,
05:05your vehicle is broken,
05:06come and swap it.
05:07If you need a battery,
05:08come and swap it.
05:09There is no need for you to charge it.
05:11We give that stickiness to the customer through the application.
05:15There are many young people who want to set up a start-up company in the next 50 days.
05:19But many do not have the financial support.
05:23What advice would you give to such young people?
05:32I always tell everyone that
05:35they should do a job first.
05:38After doing a job,
05:40there will be a level of settlement and saving.
05:43It depends on our ambition.
05:46Our ideas are very important.
05:49Idea by itself does not take you anywhere.
05:52You need skills along with ideas.
05:54Where can you go without skills?
05:56You need temperament.
05:57Why do you need temperament?
05:59Tomorrow,
06:00you talk to clients.
06:01Some people sit for two hours to meet clients.
06:03They cannot sit.
06:04Even after that,
06:06you talk in the same way.
06:08You have to learn all this.
06:10You have to learn all this from somewhere.
06:14It is not possible if you think about it.
06:17It is possible if you experience it.
06:19If you want to do something,
06:21you have to do a job.
06:23I know,
06:24you might have felt it.
06:26But,
06:27if you do a job,
06:29there is a lot to learn from it.
06:31It is not just about skill.
06:33There is only one skill.
06:35If you think like that,
06:36the smartest man in the world
06:38should be the richest man in the world.
06:40Why is that not correct?
06:42Thank you so much.
06:43I think your goals will definitely come true.
06:46Currently,
06:47two friends have started a startup company
06:50related to mobility.
06:52They are helping many people.
06:54In the coming days,
06:55if a young person wants to start a startup company,
06:58he should have a passion for it.
07:01If he does a job,
07:02he will definitely get an experience.
07:04There are many opportunities to start a startup company.
