Vestel Mobilite, a recently introduced startup unit of the Turkish appliances maker Vestel announced Thursday it signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Shloka Enterprises, a subsidiary of the Indian Krishna Group to evaluate potential cooperation.
According to the statement made by the company, Vestel’s new initiative, Vestel Mobilite, which specializes in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, automotive electronics and battery energy storage solutions, has begun to seek new business partnerships in India as part of its vision to become a global player.
For this purpose, Vestel has signed a memorandum of understanding with Shloka Enterprises, one of India’s leading automotive groups and a subsidiary of the Krishna Group, to evaluate potential collaboration opportunities starting from electric vehicle charging stations, and mobility electronics to energy storage systems.
Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate to identify potential opportunities in the Indian market for electric vehicle charging stations, mobility electronics and energy storage systems.
