It feels like just yesterday when we embarked on our journey to electrify mobility in India. Since joining the EV-olution, GLIDA has brought a real drive to accelerate e-mobility. We have played a significant role in industry growth by active participation in shaping policies and strategies, showcasing our unwavering dedication to the nation’s electrification mission. With strategic thinking and extensive experience in the energy sector, our leadership has added real value to the sector. Their foresight and thought leadership have been truly valued by the policymakers and industry stakeholders alike.

As expressed by Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Jha, the Executive Director of GLIDA, “In the realm of electrification, India has accomplished a great deal in a relatively brief period. Now, it is crucial to accelerate momentum. Electrifying mobility in India holds immense potential, promising reduced household energy bills, eliminating our dependence on imported fossil fuels, and making a significant contribution to our efforts to combat climate change.”

Launch of GLIDA – Our New Brand Identity™

GLIDA charging station with our new brand identity exudes a minimalist, elegant aesthetic. We are GLIDA now… GLIDA is a Swedish word that stands for ‘moving smoothly and effortlessly.’ It gives our brand its own distinct identity that syncs up with our purpose to empower users by creating a robust public EV charging infrastructure. The name ‘GLIDA’ demonstrates what we stand for – freedom to move without any barriers or hesitation. Safety and innovation have always been our priorities, and this continues to be our motto.

Our vision has expanded to serve every PEV user with the same comfort and convenience at home when charging at our stations. Our new brand identity strengthens our connection with the EV community while our vision, mission, values, and promise remain unchanged.

Name: A Swedish word for glide meaning effortless motion. GLIDA symbolizes our commitment to offering a seamless charging experience to EV users.

Driving Toward a Unified India: Connecting Highways

It doesn’t end here – there are many more Highways on our target list to go LIVE shortly. There’s a great possibility that by the time you’re reading it, the numbers have further grown! We gratefully dedicate our success to every early EV adopter in the country who paved the way for the eMobility revolution.

Promoting Electric Mobility Among Students

Student engagement forms a core part of our industry-building strategy.

“The commitment to sustainability is a seed that, once sown, grows into a tree. It should take root in early childhood within our immediate educational environment.” – Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Executive Director, GLIDA

At GLIDA, we firmly believe that sharing knowledge is the most effective way to build a resilient EV ecosystem, deepen the context of the electric mobility movement, foster awareness among the public, and integrate it into mainstream society. We’ve undertaken the responsibility to disseminate our knowledge not only to our business partners but also to the students who represent our future leaders.

Education is the premise of progress in every society. It’s truly inspiring when a business leader invests wholeheartedly in the growth of a transformative industry and assumes the responsibility to progress it by engaging with young minds. Our Executive Director connected with students from diverse Educational Institutions to heighten their understanding of electric vehicles by combining historical analysis with projections about EVs for the near future.

Creating Long-Term Impact through Industry Thought-Leadership Initiatives

GLIDA provides information, support, and advocacy for the holistic growth of the EV ecosystem

GLIDA participated at many International Conferences, Industry Forums, Webinars, and Student Guest Lectures to strongly keep the perspective of #eMobility in front of diverse audiences. Notable among these was our participation in a business delegation led by the Prime Minister of the Netherlands during his visit to India, aimed at strengthening vital B2B connections. Another first-of-its-kind event was TATA.ev Charging Day signified the launch of a collaborative platform where industry leaders come together to share knowledge, best practices, and learnings. On both these occasions, GLIDA’s Executive Director, Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Jha was invited as a Distinguished Speaker to share industry insight for enabling a strong future focus through past learnings.
