What does Booz have to say? “Booz became the first Civic Body-approved operator in South Asia to deploy such electric kick scooters for city public spots.
Unfortunately, during Covid-19 first wave, we paused our operations in March 2020 and resumed in November 2020. This period impacted our expansions and growth plans and yet the whole team kept believing in what we started.
Yet again during the second wave of Covid-19, we paused operations in March 2021, and this time we have pivoted a bit by rethinking some products and business models & we are back stronger. Indeed what a ride!”
