Tops corn flakes and the choice of models in their advertisement

The ‘demonetization’ marketing moment for electric vehicles in India?

September 14, 2018October 29, 2021 by Karthik S

I know of at least 3 electric scooter brands in India that are already in-market – Hero Electric, Okinawa Praise and Ather (which, incidentally, delivered their first batch of 10 Ather 450 scooters to their owners earlier this week, in Bengaluru!). And…
