Speaking on the occasion, Narayan Subramaniam CEO – Ultraviolette Automotive said, “We believe Innovation to be a duty & a responsibility to the future of India. For long, we’ve looked to the East & West and used ‘Value Engineering’ as a means to deflect the onus of truly making world-class products in India. With the talent available locally and the focus on design & technology cultivated through upskilling & job creation by start-ups, there is no reason India can’t dream of having a world-class brand in performance motorcycling – to not dream of it, would be a disservice to our generation.”

Niraj Rajmohan, CTO – Ultraviolette Automotive added, “Disruptive technology like the F99 platform – that is among the fastest & most advanced electric bikes in the World – will help India reinforce its status as a top player in the Automotive sector. Whilst known for contract manufacturing, we believe that with the right focus & application, the time is ripe for India to take its rightful place in the pecking order of design-led, desirable auto brands in the World.”
