Chetan Maini’s passion for sustainable mobility started 30 years ago, when he was part of the University of Michigan Solar Car team that stood first in the race across the US and came 3rd in the World Solar Challenge in Australia. Since then, he has been relentlessly working on making electric vehicles affordable. Chetan had launched ‘Reva’, India’s most affordable electric car which went on to become the world’s best-selling electric car at one point of time, selling in over 24 countries. In 2013 (then Mahindra Reva), it had reached new heights when it was named as one of the Top 50 Most Innovative Companies by the Fast Company magazine.

In 2017, Uday Khemka, promoter of SUN Group and Chetan Maini joined hands to realize their shared vision of making electric mobility affordable and accessible to masses and formed SUN Mobility. SUN Mobility is a joint venture between the Maini Group and the SUN Group. This partnership brings in synergies of the Maini Group which is a diversified engineering powerhouse providing solutions for intra-campus electric mobility, material handling, aerospace and automotive precision products, and the SUN Group which has global investments in a wide range of sectors such as energy (oil & gas), mining, renewable energy and new energy storage applications.
