Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Vice Chairperson, Kinetic Engineering and Founder & CEO, Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions Limited, who grew up counting Lunas and Kinetic Hondas on the road, is a determined woman and she is on a mission. With a super sharp focus of her light mobility company’s aim to build small electric vehicles with 1kW-10kW motor size and speeds of 25-100kmph, electric two wheelers, three wheelers and golf carts are segments that the company is working on. No greenhorn when it comes to stylish, advanced and affordable scooters, she is keen on making electric mobility reach masses because “that is what Kinetic is good at – taking new technology and making it available and affordable to people at large.” At the launch of Kinetic Green’s electric scooter, Zulu, TURN OF SPEED caught up with her where she spoke to us about adding to Kinetic’s legacy in the e-avatar, their modular platform as well as their new dealership formats. Excerpts from the interview….  TOS: You have been in the automotive business from the 1980’s. Give us a sense of how you have seen the business of two wheelers change in India as well as abroad over the decades and where is it headed?
