Mr. Jeetender Sharma, MD & Founder, Okinawa Autotech, remarked, ” We are glad and appreciative to those who expressed their belief in Okinawa and therefore helped us achieve this milestone.” With our dynamic product selection and unique riding experiences, Okinawa has set new milestones in the mass penetration of Electric Two-Wheelers in India since its beginning. We’ve had only one strategy from the start: raise awareness and debunk all kinds of myths around EVs. We will continue to cater to the requirements of the purists, while also fulfilling the aspirations of a new base of the youth who have a very different approach with two-wheelers. We remain committed in our endeavour to serve our consumers with exciting new launches and curated experiences.”
Okinawa is at the forefront of the mass penetration of electric two-wheelers in India, with a wide range of electric scooters to fulfill the changing needs of customers. It has thus cemented its leadership position amongst the masses by delivering high-quality and excellent performance. This year, when the pandemic had an inevitable impact on the auto industry, resulting in lesser sales than anticipated; Okinawa has retained its position as the second most selling E2W in India.
