Can electric vehicles and drones really revolutionize last-mile delivery, or is it all just hype?
Aalap Pandya, co-founder and CEO of Drop On Delivery, thinks the answer is clear. His EV-first logistics startup has already completed over 3.6 lakh green deliveries in just 10 months — and he's just getting started.
In this episode, Aalap shares the untold story behind that growth: trading a stable banking job for startup chaos, building EV infrastructure from scratch, and navigating everything from rider hesitation to charging challenges. But he’s not stopping at electric two-wheelers — his team is already looking ahead to drone logistics, hydrogen vehicles, and smarter, cleaner ways to move goods across India.
This is a candid conversation about the real challenges of sustainable tech, the future of e-mobility, and what it takes to build for scale in a country as complex as India.
If you're interested in climate tech, logistics innovation, or the grind behind green startups, this one’s for you.
