India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is heating up, and one company is racing ahead in the premium motorcycle segment—Ultraviolette Automotive. Based in Bangalore, Ultraviolette is redefining what Indian electric bikes can achieve, combining cutting-edge technology with thrilling performance.
A Vision Born in 2016
Founded in 2016 by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, Ultraviolette Automotive set out with a clear mission: to create India’s answer to high-performance electric motorcycles. While many Indian EV startups focus on scooters, Ultraviolette aimed higher—crafting motorcycles that rival global performance standards.
Fueling Growth with Major Investment
In 2025, Ultraviolette made headlines with a ₹404 crore (~$49 million) Series E funding round. The investment came from prominent backers, including Zoho Corporation and Lingotto, which is associated with Ferrari enthusiasts.
This significant capital injection will allow Ultraviolette to:
-
Expand R&D operations to develop next-generation electric motorcycles.
-
Launch new models that cater to both Indian and international markets.
-
Strengthen its dealership and service network, ensuring better accessibility for customers.
Why Ultraviolette Stands Out
What truly sets Ultraviolette apart is its focus on performance and advanced technology. Unlike typical Indian EV startups that primarily target the scooter segment, Ultraviolette is pushing the boundaries with:
-
High-performance batteries
-
Fast-charging innovations
-
Precision engineering comparable to international brands
Backed by strong funding and global investor confidence, Ultraviolette is proving that India can compete on the global stage—not just in volume, but in innovation and performance.
The Road Ahead
With a clear vision, cutting-edge technology, and strong investor support, Ultraviolette Automotive is poised to accelerate India’s journey toward premium electric mobility. For enthusiasts and eco-conscious riders alike, this is one EV brand that promises thrills, innovation, and a glimpse of the future.
