GMW is a pioneer in the Indian electric mobility space, and is the largest exporter of electric 3Ws (or e-tuktuks) from India, with presence in UK, France, Portugal, Japan, Uganda, Nepal and Bangladesh. GMW’s SmartAuto is the first Indian e-3W to be European certified, and is also the first e-3W to be designed with a modular battery swapping system.
The combined value of 3Ws and 3W refueling markets is at US$32Bn. Several developing countries have a high rate of usage of three-wheelers, which were traditionally powered by IC engines. These markets are now looking at electric 3Ws as the future of intra-city mobility.
“This agreement with GEM is a validation of our position as a market leader in the affordable e-mobility space. We have indigenously designed a robust powertrain with proprietary battery swapping technology. Some of the global automobile majors are exploring technology partnerships with us to co-develop affordable mobility solutions, ” said GMW’s CEO Raja Gayam.
GMW's clientele includes IKEA, Amazon, Uber, Flipkart (Walmart), Sokowatch, Grofers, BigBasket, Delhivery, and several others. The company also set up battery swapping and charging networks at these customer warehouses and distribution centers. “COVID-19 has caused a steep increase in ecommerce penetration globally. E-commerce firms and fleet operators find small commercial EVs to be an affordable and smarter way of moving goods around, as last-mile delivery accounts for the largest portion (~41%) of supply chain costs. Now, we look to help drive the industry’s inevitable electrification, ” said GMW’s COO Sri Harsha Bavirisetty
The pandemic caused big shifts in the supply chain industry for many years to come. The global trend towards micro-fulfillment and distribution centers spread across the cities, has laid the path for smaller commercial EVs due to faster pickup/deliveries and shorter distances.
GMW’s future plans also call for the production of electric 4W trucks to follow from next year, which will have longer range and larger volume. The vehicle will likely be designed with the same battery interface of their SmartAuto for swift battery swapping across multiple vehicle types.

Megaport Launches Built-In DDoS Protection Enabling On-Demand Network Resilience6.5.2026 00:00:00 CEST | Press release
Megaport DDoS Protection removes the trade-off between security, performance, and cost, offering rapid enterprise-grade mitigation. Megaport Limited (ASX: MP1) (“Megaport”), a leading global automated infrastructure platform, today announced the launch of Megaport DDoS Protection. This new, built-in security capability for Megaport Internet allows customers to filter malicious traffic directly within the Megaport network rather than routing it through a separate or external service, for mission-critical uptime without introducing additional latency or routing complexity. As enterprises increasingly migrate to distributed cloud environments, traditional DDoS mitigation has struggled to keep pace with cloud and distributed infrastructure adoption. Standard ISP solutions often resort to dropping all traffic and taking the service offline to protect the network, while external third-party providers force a "security detour" that reroutes traffic through public infrastructure, introducing s
