Yulu has a strategic partnership with India’s two-wheeler manufacturer Bajaj Auto and over the years the two companies have been collaborating on product design, technology platforms, engineering processes and manufacturing.

Yulu registered Rs 41.74 crore in revenue from operations in FY23 against Rs 94.88 crore loss in the last fiscal year.
