Shubhankar Chaudhry, the CEO of One Moto India, said, “To create a robust ecosystem for Electric Vehicles and give a boost to the EV market, the Indian government should focus on putting EVs in the priority lending sector.

Furthermore, Indian startups cannot raise funds through SAFE Notes, the most acceptable instrument across the world. Lastly, I request the government, the way they have established…

Therefore, it is essential to look for ingredients while buying beauty…
