Anand Mahindra promotes ‘Swadeshi Cycle’, wishes to invest in it
Taking to Twitter Anand Mahindra shares about a Made in India motorized cycle. He talks about the cycle and says, “This has been doing the #Signal rounds the last few days. Not the first device in the world to motorise a cycle. But this is a) An outstanding design—compact & efficient b) Rugged-loved the working in mud, making it an off-roader! c) Safe d) Savvy—a phone charging port!”
He further continues and tells, “But what I appreciate most is his empathy and passion for those hard working people for whom the humble cycle is still the primary mode of transport. It’s a good reminder for all automakers focussing on disruptive EVs that THIS EV revolution may be the most important one.”
He then wishes to invest in the cycle and says, “It’s not inevitable that this will succeed commercially or be substantially profitable, but I still would feel proud to be an investor…Grateful if someone can connect me with Gursaurabh,”

Gursaurabh Singh has invented a device that “converts any cycle into an electric cycle in minutes. The creator of Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit (DVECK), Singh believes the invention has the potential to revolutionise India. About 58% of daily commuters in India depend on classic Indian cycles that are rather slow and make long travels difficult.
Currently, there are 8 crore bicycles and rickshaws running across India and Singh is on a mission to make their commute easier and faster with DVECK. “This invention is compatible with every single one of them,” Singh’s YouTube channel claims.
