Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup Bounce announced its partnership with the central government’s e-governance service delivery network CSC to strengthen its presence across rural markets. The company said under the collaboration, Bounce will sell its product offerings through the Common Service Centre (CSC) network.
CSC, a special purpose vehicle of the ministry of electronics and IT, allows Village-Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) the option to launch a rural e-store.
CSC Rural e-Mobility promotes the use of EVs (Electric Vehicles) and charging infrastructure across the country through a strong and vibrant network of VLEs.
Initially, the company will offer Bounce Infinity e-scooters, fleet rental service and two- and three-wheelers retrofitting, Bounce said in a statement.
This partnership, for which a pact was signed on Monday, is an effort to bring Bounce’s smart mobility offerings to rural customers across the country, it stated.
