Rashi Agarwal, the Co-founder and Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Zypp Electric, is leading the way in a startup that is tackling the pressing issue of emissions in India, as the country takes the lead in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Her efforts align perfectly with the government's mission 2030, aimed at combating pollution and creating a sustainable future.
Agarwal plays a crucial role in empowering gig workers, bringing about a positive change in their lives and enabling them to earn a respectable income. Additionally, she actively challenges gender stereotypes by onboarding "women delivery partners" in her team, thereby promoting gender equality. These remarkable endeavours were recently recognised at the sixth edition of the BW Disrupt Women Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs Awards 2024, where she won the title of Startup Woman Entrepreneur of the Year.
Agarwal's unwavering commitment lies in constructing not only a substantial enterprise but also a lucrative venture that harmonises with the eight UNSDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), aiming for a sustainable future.
Established in 2017, Zypp transitioned from an electric vehicle rental model to a last-mile delivery model, boasting a fleet of over 20,000 active vehicles in the market and employing more than 19,000 gig workers. Under Agarwal's guidance, the company is dedicated to fostering sustainable cities and communities by promoting the use of electric vehicles and uniting individuals towards a common vision.
