In a recent interview, Rashmi interacted with Abhinav Kalia, CEO & Co-Founder of ARC Electric in which she discussed B2B EV Mobility, AI-Powered Fleet Management, Sustainability & ESG Compliance, Tech-Enabled Operations, and Corporate Transport Safety etc.
1. ARC Electric is positioned as India’s first B2B EV platform—what inspired this focus on the B2B segment, and how do you differentiate from other players in the EV space?
The B2B segment has long faced inefficiencies in corporate transportation—ranging from fluctuating fuel prices to ESG non-compliance. ARC Electric was born from the vision of solving these problems sustainably. We chose to focus solely on the B2B space to provide tailored EV solutions that align with corporate mobility needs, such as punctuality, safety, and premium comfort. Unlike aggregators or B2C ride-hailing platforms, we offer a dedicated fleet, AI-powered scheduling, and ESG-aligned transport metrics. Our platform integrates real-time analytics, route optimization, and smart charging to deliver a seamless experience. By acting as both a service provider and a strategic partner in sustainability, ARC Electric has created a niche as India’s first and most trusted B2B EV mobility platform.
2. With over 1,000 EVs already in operation across Delhi NCR and 100+ cities, what key strategies have enabled such rapid scaling and client trust?
The rapid scaling and client trust has been driven by strategic partnerships with leading logistics and e-commerce firms, robust charging infrastructure, and tech-enabled fleet management. Flexible leasing models and lower operational costs have helped in making EV adoption financially attractive. This has been further accelerated by leveraging government incentives and aligning with corporate sustainability goals. Consistent service performance, tailored fleet offerings, and responsive after-sales support has developed client satisfaction and fostered long-term partnerships.
3. You’re aiming to deploy 2,500+ EVs in NCR and expand into Hyderabad and Bangalore. What challenges and opportunities do you foresee in scaling to 5,000+ EVs in new regions?
Scaling to 5,000+ EVs comes with both exciting opportunities and operational challenges. The key opportunities include increasing demand for sustainable corporate transport, especially in tech and service-driven cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad. However, challenges include uneven EV infrastructure, state-wise regulatory differences, and the need to onboard trained drivers quickly. Our strategy focuses on building city-specific microhubs with dedicated charging points, forging local partnerships for support services, and deploying AI-powered fleet management to ensure smooth operations. Our tech-driven approach allows us to replicate our NCR success efficiently. With rising corporate ESG mandates, we see strong tailwinds supporting our expansion into new regions.
4. Can you elaborate on how your AI-powered fleet management and smart charging systems work? How do they improve fleet efficiency and customer satisfaction?
Our AI-powered fleet management system uses real-time data to optimize route allocation, reduce idle time, and anticipate maintenance needs. The platform dynamically assigns the most suitable vehicle for a job based on proximity, battery charge, and traffic conditions, thereby ensuring on-time pickups and enhanced customer satisfaction. Our smart charging system integrates with the fleet management software to schedule charging during off-peak hours or in sync with ride demand, preventing unnecessary delays. Together, these systems boost vehicle uptime, reduce operational costs, and provide clients with consistent, reliable service. The result is a highly efficient, tech-enabled ecosystem that sets a new standard in B2B mobility.
5. How are you leveraging real-time tracking and data analytics to optimize operations and provide value to your corporate clients?
We employ real-time tracking and advanced data analytics to monitor vehicle performance, optimize delivery routes, and minimize downtime across our electric vehicle fleet deployed in the B2B segment. By analyzing data such as battery health, energy consumption, and driver behavior, we increase operational efficiency and ensure timely deliveries. Predictive maintenance assisted by analytics reduces breakdowns, while real-time visibility enables clients to track movements seamlessly. These efforts not only improve fleet utilization but also support our clients in meeting their sustainability and service-level goals.
6. companies are now prioritizing ESG goals. How does ARC Electric help clients meet their sustainability targets through your zero-emission transport solutions?
ARC Electric is more than a mobility provider—we are an ESG partner. By replacing ICE vehicles with 100% electric cabs, we directly help clients reduce Scope 1 and 3 emissions. Each ride contributes to quantifiable carbon savings, which we document and share through monthly ESG reports. These metrics aid companies in sustainability reporting, investor communication, and CSR disclosures. Our services support compliance with national and global ESG frameworks, while also aligning with internal green targets. Additionally, our fleet emits zero tailpipe emissions and is managed through sustainable operations, enabling clients to turn their transport needs into a climate-conscious advantage.
7. What measures are in place to ensure driver safety and passenger security? How does technology play a role in building trust with corporate clients?
Safety and security are non-negotiables at ARC Electric. All our drivers undergo rigorous background verification, soft-skills training, and EV operation modules. Each vehicle is GPS-enabled, with real-time monitoring and emergency response features. We’ve implemented geofencing, speed alerts, and panic buttons integrated with a central command center to handle any on-road issues swiftly. For clients, this transparency builds trust—knowing their employees are in safe hands. Our platform also shares driver details and live ride tracking with both the employee and employer, ensuring end-to-end visibility. These tech-driven protocols combined with operational discipline create a secure and reliable ecosystem for corporate mobility.
