Milo Drive, a tech platform focused on electric vehicle fleet operations, has raised $2.4 million in a funding round led by Caret Capital. The company is building infrastructure for decentralized EV fleets in India, targeting ride-hailing and other mobility use cases. It aims to solve challenges around vehicle access, demand aggregation, and fleet operations for drivers and small fleet operators. Caret Capital said the investment aligns with its goal of reducing 10 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions and creating 10 million jobs. The funding will help Milo Drive expand its platform to support India's transition to electric mobility. The company is led by Monil Jayeshkumar Khatri and Vishal Jewrajka.

2.4M for EV fleet infrastructure in India. That is a small seed round for a big problem. Ride hailing is growing fast there and charging access is still patchy. Curious how they plan to handle the last mile charging gap for drivers who do not own a home charger.

Caret Capital says they want to cut 10 million tonnes of CO2 and create 10 million jobs. That is a big claim for a 2.4M seed round. Would like to see how they track that. Is it per company or portfolio wide?

India's ride hailing EV push is real but the grid side is the bottleneck. Charging depots need reliable power and that is not a given in many cities. 2.4M is tiny for depot buildout. Wonder if they are partnering with existing charging networks or going it alone.

Caret Capital's 10 million tonne target is ambitious. For context, India's total transport emissions are around 300 MtCO2 per year. So that is about 3% of transport. Feasible if they back multiple companies like Milo Drive but the per company math needs to be clear.

Decentralized EV fleets sound good on paper but the operational cost for small fleet owners is high. Battery replacement, charging downtime, and maintenance eat margins. Hope Milo Drive is tackling those hard costs and not just the software layer.
