Toutche

Amidst the continued efforts to increase the number of women in STEM education and the allied industry sectors, around the world, there's a wonderful example in GSSS Institute of Engineering and Technology for Women, Mysuru, - It's an "All Women Engineering Institute". There are other such institutes, however it is super heartening to learn about GSSS and their mission to (STEM) educate women. It was wonderful to host a bunch of young Electrical and Electronics engineering students from GSSS recently. Toutche will collaborate more closely with GSSS and hopes to be a small part of many stories it is creating.

In December, Toutche was selected by Startup Karnataka for funding (Elevate 2023). There is more that the Karnataka Govt and the Startup cell do, than just funding - one of which is the Market Access Programme. A bunch of select startups in specific sectors, get to be part of delegations to markets. Toutche is privileged to be part of the Market Access Programme to Australia this week. As we prepare to launch our #Heileo eBikes in Australia, it is quite timely to be part of this delegation. More updates from Raghu Kerakatty as the week progresses, and lots more coming from us on the impending Australia launch. #sydneystartuphub #australia #electriccycle #ebikes inQ Innovation Sydney Startup Hub Australia India Business Council Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade)

Recently, we had members from the Mysore Confederation of Indian Industry community visit our Toutche factory and offices. It was a pleasure to have them over and show around. What was palpable was the enthusiasm, curiosity and engagement we witnessed from the CII members about what Toutche is doing - engineering electric cycles, building batteries indigenously, the new cutting edge products and tech in the works, to name a few. The quiet sense of pride amongst the members, seeing a homegrown venture of Mysore growing globally, was hugely gratifying. Thank you Utsav Agarwal for organising this.

A reliable, efficient and long-life battery is a fundamental building block to building a reliable eBike (or any electric vehicle for that matter). Where majority of the ebike brands source generic batteries (tough for consumers to have them repaired or serviced), we opted to design, engineer and build our own battery. At Toutche our goal is simple - "An ebike that runs for years, with a battery that customers can trust to last". In case of issues or accidental damages, Toutche customers have the option of remediation, rather than having to buy a brand new battery! #ebike #battery #reliability #longevity #automotivegrade

We treasure the "Bike" in our eBikes! Electric Cycle (or eBike) designs have been exciting in recent years. They have brought the fun appeal to non-native cyclists. Whilst we are at work to add those "fun designs" to our stable, we never tire of celebrating the "simple bike" aspect of our existing Heileo range. #keepitsimple #ebikes #toutche #electriccycle Toutche Raghu Kerakatty Charan Kashyap Asha Kerakatty

We were one of the first Electric Cycle brands in the India market in 2019 with Heileo, achieved quick traction and scaled at the back of great customer feedback (lightest, durable, long-life battery, in all a high-performance ebike). Like many start-ups, we had our fair share of challenges during and after COVID. We navigated the rough waters with sheer focus, grit and hard-work. Through that period in 2021 and 2022, we stayed lean and focussed on areas that strengthen our product, supply chain and lend long-term competitive advantage which helped us emerge stronger and fitter. 3 quarters on, since our 2nd gen Heileo electric bicycles hit the market, the love from the market is back too and rising steadily. It is rewarding to see Heileo back on the top charts in India (specially from a top media house like Times Now). As we prepare to enter the next phase of growth, we (as always) are heads down and continue to take it one step at a time, quietly. https://lnkd.in/eq6PV8eK https://lnkd.in/eUzjjWUy https://lnkd.in/e-Q6AQyX https://lnkd.in/emCqjmpn #ebikes #madeinindia #micromobility
