The EV market in India has a promising scope and multitude of opportunities, though it entails a certain degree of ambition. However, India’s potential to wear the label of leading EV market cannot be overruled. It is within the framework of this underlying potential that ventures like BLive find a fertile working ground. This also justifies the immense levels of capital investments in this field, since foresight can often prove to be a valuable tool in business.

What is Pre- Series A round Funding ?

Pre- Series A round is a significant element of startups looking for Series A funding. It is usually done before Series A funding, following  Seed funding which is the primary round of funding.

When the founders are unable to raise Series A funding or in situations where they intend to postpone the same to achieve certain milestones, Pre series A is opted.
