In a significant milestone for Speedigo, the month of November 2023 marked the culmination of a longstanding vision as the company inaugurated its maiden manufacturing facility in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Spanning an expansive covered area of approximately 10,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art facility stands as a testament to Speedigo's commitment to innovation, quality, and growth.

Equipped with cutting-edge machinery and facilities, the factory boasts essential infrastructure such as a battery booster machine, painting setup for fabrication work, welding stations, and other specialized equipment tailored to the production process. These advanced resources enable Speedigo to streamline manufacturing operations and uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and efficiency.

With the establishment of its manufacturing hub, Speedigo has embarked on a new phase of expansion and diversification, focusing on the production of 5 models in the Vintage Series Buggy and 5 models in the Regular Golf Cart Series. This strategic diversification underscores Speedigo's dedication to catering to diverse market segments and meeting the evolving needs of customers.

In the Year 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges for Himalaya Automobiles, as corporate orders for golf carts dwindled, and the retail market for e-rickshaws came to a standstill. Faced with this dire situation, Mr. Susmit Chakraborty, the visionary leader behind Speedigo, devised a brilliant solution to adapt and thrive amidst adversity.

Recognizing the potential in refurbishing neglected assets, Speedigo made a ground-breaking offer to corporates: the promise to fabricate their completely dead and scrapped golf carts, breathing new life into these abandoned vehicles. This innovative approach not only sustained the company during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic but also instilled immense confidence within the team.

The success of this initiative marked a pivotal moment for Speedigo, serving as a catalyst for the company's journey towards establishing its own manufacturing facility. This bold step forward underscored Speedigo's resilience, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to innovation, even in the face of adversity.

In the Year 2017, Mr. Susmit Chakraborty embarked on a pioneering journey into the realm of Electric Vehicles (EV) by establishing his proprietorship business under the banner of 'Himalaya Automobiles'. This marked the inception of Speedigo's remarkable odyssey in the EV landscape. Initially, Himalaya Automobiles set its sights on becoming a dealer of Kinetic Green, specializing in the distribution of E-Rickshaws and E-Carts.

However, the nascent days proved to be fraught with challenges as the market was predominantly saturated with Chinese-made e-rickshaws, presenting formidable competition. Price sensitivity emerged as a significant hurdle, with rates posing a major constraint compared to prevailing market standards. Despite these initial setbacks, Himalaya Automobiles demonstrated resilience and determination, managing to establish 5-6 retail outlets across various regions of West Bengal, with a primary focus on retailing E-Rickshaws.

As Himalaya Automobiles gained traction and credibility, the company secured notable institutional orders, further diversifying its portfolio and expanding its market reach. A significant turning point during this period was the strategic decision to venture into the specialized segment of golf carts, as Himalaya Automobiles began collaborating as a golf cart channel partner for an esteemed Indian manufacturer.

Through ingenuity, strategic partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Himalaya Automobiles navigated the complexities of the evolving EV landscape, emerging as a dynamic player in the industry. The journey till 2019 stands as a testament to Susmit Chakraborty's vision, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit, laying the foundation for Speedigo's transformative evolution in the Electric Vehicle domain.
