The F77 is an evocative and compelling mobility alternative for consumers in India and since the unveiling, the company has made significant progress towards launching the motorcycle in the market,” said Kumar Vembu, CEO, GoFrugal.

Ultraviolette Automotive’s aim is to help influence the country and in due course of time, the world towards a smarter and more energy efficient future. “ …We will continue to push our boundaries on this front. Kumar Vembu’s investment comes at a great time as we work towards launching our motorcycle in the market and we look forward to a long-term association with him,” said Narayan Subramaniam in a statement.
