- Size: $50M Series B, pre-money $335M
- Participants: existing investors, HNIs, family offices, promoters, select VCs
- Context: follows $24M from responsAbility, Sumant Sinha, MS Dhoni Family Office

BluSmart owns both the ride-hailing fleet AND the charging network. That's capital-heavy but gives it control over the two biggest cost centres in EV mobility: vehicles and energy.
Signal
EV ride-hailing is a capital-intensive, long-payback business — it attracts family offices and HNIs who can hold for years, not venture funds chasing quick exits.
EV fleets are becoming infrastructure assets: patient capital, predictable yield, long horizons.Advertisement
