Electric motorcycle manufacturer scaling sales and distribution in India
Oben Electric designs and manufactures electric motorcycles in-house with proprietary battery and powertrain components. The tech stack is weighted toward 3D design and visualization (Unreal, Blender, CATIA, SolidWorks) — typical for hardware R&D — with digital marketing tools (Google Ads, Meta, YouTube Analytics) for go-to-market. Current hiring is heavily skewed toward marketing and sales roles, signaling a shift from pure product development into dealer network expansion and demand generation.
Oben Electric is a Bangalore-based electric motorcycle manufacturer founded in 2020 by IIT and IIM alumni. The company designs, develops, and manufactures motorcycles and critical EV components in-house, including advanced LFP battery chemistry adapted for two-wheelers. With 51–200 employees and 18+ patents on proprietary technology, Oben operates as an R&D-driven organization serving the Indian market. Active projects center on dealer network buildout, showroom branding, offline campaigns, and accessory sales integration — reflecting a capital-intensive phase of scaling distribution beyond early adopters.
