Business Overview
Starya Mobility is a Bengaluru-based clean-tech/EV startup founded in 2018 that designs and manufactures petrol-to-electric retrofit conversion kits for existing two-wheelers. Its flagship product, the EPK 1.0 / "ARK" electric propulsion kit, converts popular scooters (Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, TVS Access, Honda Dio) into electric vehicles, retaining the original chassis while replacing the IC powertrain with an indigenously built, ARAI-certified electric motor, controller and lithium-ion battery (with a "Ride-Swap-Go" battery-swap ecosystem). Company press material (via ANI/ThePrint) describes it as the first Indian company to introduce an indigenously built, ARAI-certified electric powertrain for gearless two-wheeler retrofitting. Founders per Inc42/Tracxn-aggregated data: A B Sachin Anchan, Bharath Rao K S, Gowrav Lakshmegowda, Mallikarjuna Nagesh and Ravikumar Jagannath.

Directors & Key Management
Directors — source notes
Per Tofler (single source — DINs not cross-verified against a second registry source, so treat as partial):
- Jagannath Ravi Kumar — DIN 08181469 — Managing Director
- Lakshmegowda Gowrav — DIN 07187823 — Managing Director
- Kanthanahalli Sheshagiri Rao Bharath Rao — DIN 05224824 — Director
- Kazunori Kusamizu — DIN 08898576 — Director
- Prashanth Devendra — DIN 10083474 — Director
Note: names broadly match the founder list reported by Inc42 (Ravikumar Jagannath, Bharath Rao K S, Gowrav Lakshmegowda), lending some corroboration, but exact DIN figures come from Tofler only.
GST Registrations
Primary GSTIN not obtained (no confirmed GSTIN found on knowyourgst/findgst/mastersindia in this pass). PAN confirmed as ABACS5928H (Tofler), implying home state Karnataka and a Karnataka-prefixed (29AABACS5928H1Z_) GSTIN would be expected, but the actual registration number could not be verified from a reliable source — do not infer/invent it. Status/number of registrations: not obtained.
Financials
Conflicting/partial figures from two sources, different fiscal years:
- Tofler (FY2022-23): Operating revenue <₹1 crore; total revenue reported as +583.22% YoY change but absolute figure locked (pro-only); net worth -35.78% YoY (absolute locked); borrowings flat (0.0% change, absolute locked); assets -14.47% YoY.
- Inc42 Datalabs: FY25 revenue ₹3.7 crore (+68% YoY vs FY24 revenue of ₹2.2 crore).
No EBITDA/PAT figures obtained from either source. Standalone vs consolidated not specified (company has no known subsidiaries). Treat as partial/unconfirmed — figures not cross-verified between sources and several are locked behind paywalls.
Funding History
Early-stage funding across multiple rounds, minor amount discrepancies between aggregators:
- Angel/bridge round: ah! Ventures Angel Platform invested ~₹2 crore (~$267K) around 2021-22 bridge round (per ahventures.in mailer), following an earlier ~₹2.2 crore round.
- Seed round: ~$2 million round closed 19 June 2023, led by/including ah! Ventures and Exedy Clutch India (Inc42, ah!Ventures materials).
- Other cited investors (aggregator-sourced, not independently confirmed): Eagle10 Ventures, Altair Engineering, Ipreneur Accelerator.
- Total funding to date: reported as $2.51M (Inc42) vs $2.72M (Crunchbase-derived aggregator) across 3 rounds — minor conflict between sources, both in the same ballpark.
Company was also reportedly targeting a $4M Pre-Series A round as of ~2021-22 (ah!Ventures mailer); outcome/status of that larger round not confirmed.
Loans & Charges
Per Tofler: "the company has no registered charges" as of the data pull date. No loan/charge filings identified elsewhere.
Credit Ratings
None found. No CRISIL/ICRA/CARE rating located for Starya Mobility Private Limited (consistent with an early-stage, primarily equity-funded startup with no obtained bank borrowings/charges).
Legal & Compliance
None found. No Indian Kanoon case records located for Starya Mobility Private Limited in this pass.
Competitive Landscape
EV two-wheeler retrofit/conversion-kit peers, similarly early-stage/small scale (aggregator-sourced via Tracxn/CBInsights comparisons — partial confidence):
- GoGoA1 — RTO/ARAI-approved petrol-to-EV conversion kits, broader OEM/ODM base, Navi Mumbai
- Green Tiger — EV retrofit/mobility peer
- Morph Electric — EV retrofit/mobility peer
- Talet-e — EV retrofit peer
- Raptee.HV — electric motorcycle/high-performance EV startup (larger scale, VC-funded)
- Srivaru Motors — electric two-wheeler OEM (larger scale)
All are early-to-growth-stage Indian EV two-wheeler players; Starya's addressable niche (retrofit-only, existing scooter conversion) is narrower than OEM competitors like Raptee/Srivaru.
