Franchise Expansion Strategy
Bijliride is scaling its franchise‑led expansion across India, using partnerships as a key route to grow EV mobility operations.

• Local partners establish and operate EV mobility hubs while leveraging Bijliride’s ecosystem.
• Phase 2 rollout will strategically target Western and Northern markets to capture rising demand for commercial EV fleets.
• Master Franchise Model pilots will assess scalability for market‑level partnerships while maintaining operational standards.

Shivam Sisodiya, Co‑Founder & CEO, Bijliride: “Franchising is becoming an important part of our strategy to scale EV mobility across India. Having 20 active franchise partners and another 20 nearing closure gives us a strong base as we work towards our target of 50 franchises. At the same time, we are experimenting with the Master Franchise Model in Rajasthan and Maharashtra to understand how we can accelerate market‑level expansion while maintaining the operational standards that are important to us. We believe a combination of local partnerships and a strong central ecosystem can help us build EV mobility infrastructure at scale.”
