VoltUp, a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform specializing in battery-swapping technology, has raised USD 8 million in its seed funding round. The round, which included equity and debt, was led by EM Impact Capital, a specialist impact investor focused on sustainable investments in emerging markets. This brings VoltUp's total funding to USD 18 million, including USD 10 million raised in its pre-seed round, with contributions from HDFC Bank, cKers, Grip Invest, GetVantage, and prominent family offices.
VoltUp's battery-swapping technology aims to facilitate the adoption of electric two- and three-wheelers by allowing users to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones in under a minute at strategically located stations.

Over the next two years, VoltUp will invest over USD 85 million in swapping stations, batteries, and its MaaS platform, creating jobs and promoting sustainable mobility in India.
