IIT Bombay · Campus Micromobility

Redefining urban mobility
with smart E-Bikes

PAAVAN doesn't just move students faster — it gives them back time. What used to take 55–60 minutes now takes just 10–15.

The problem

A broken last-mile system on campus

80% of IIT Bombay studentswalk or cycle 5–6 km every day, losing 7–8 hours every week just commuting. Autos are expensive and unreliable. E-buggies are scarce and overcrowded. There's no on-demand, dependable campus mobility. Campuses have demand density but zero last-mile infrastructure.
