Raptee Energy showcased the first look of its electric motorcycle at the Global Investors meet. The meet was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, MK Stalin. The motorcycle is slated for an April 2024 launch.
 
Global Investors Meet (GIM) attracted top-tier startups from Tamil Nadu and global investors interested in the state's burgeoning tech and electric vehicle (EV) sectors.
With participants from 30 nations, the event showcased Tamil Nadu as a hub with robust infrastructure for industries, EV manufacturing, and microchip production, drawing significant attention.
 
Throughout the two-day GIM event, the Tamil Nadu government successfully secured a total investment of Rs 6.6 lakh crore. Dinesh Arjun, CEO and co-founder of Raptee Energy, emphasised the significance of showcasing its motorcycles at such a prestigious event. He stated, "Our debut at the TN GIM couldn't have been better timed."
