2 years ago this vehicle existed only in my head.

Then it existed as a rough sketch. Then as a prototype that broke down more times than I can count, in more ways than I expected.

But every failure taught me something the lab never would have.

And finally, next month, it goes into production! ❤️

Presenting you, @SunChargeMotors, India's first solar electric commercial vehicle company.

A startup idea that only works if there are already a significant number of people using it is not a valid startup idea. There has to be some subset of users who need what you're making so desperately that they'll use it even if no one else is.

Being a founder is so freaking hard man.. chewing glass every day. If you fail, no one cares. If you succeed, you are given way more problems. Sometimes I really wonder how many founders wake up in the morning and ask themselves "is it really worth it".

Starting a company is so glorified - but building, scaling and maintaining one is a different story. This is why it's so important to do this for the right reasons - solve problems you are deeply passionate about and one you'll do even if the world is against you. At least there will be light at the end of the tunnel that's constantly drawing you in on those days when you are questioning your motivation.

I have never had the courage to personally start a company for this reason. Just wanted to say to the ones going through this - I see you, I salute you and I admire you 🫡

@Ajain112 have started testing it since last week, will update you on performance next week. Just one issue which I told - refunds won’t be possible

[Vedang Nalawade @veddaang]

Product development: Not by guessing. By listening to customers.

We're testing this on a small scale right now, if you want to be a part of it, dm me or @clapstoretoys :)

This is how we decide which toy to make next at Clapstore toys! 💛
