OUR VERTICALS

Transportation

The Transportation sector has seen a

renewed focus post the pandemic as it highlighted the relevance of logistics and supply chains. The sector has seen significant growth in recent years in the number of emerging start-ups, interest from investors, and policy push from the government. The sector has also seen the most impact from the increased clean tech focused funding as electrification emerged as a key theme.
