“So Nathan, as I mean, you already read out, connected mobility platform is something which vehicles use, right? It could be any kind of vehicles. It could be a car or a bus or a truck or a two wheeler, whatever it is, right? So the typical OEMs who pay for us are the ones who manufacture this.”
“Typical SaaS costing is somewhere around a dollar or so, but you can't really hold on to that.”

Bio
I along Sudeep Nayak & Sugam Sharma co founded Zeliot in April 2018. I come with experience of working with a Founder very closely in my previous stint at an IoT startup called Kooki. I have being fairly successful in embedding my philosophy of running a startup with the hybrid thought process, i.e. bring in revenue from customers by delivering value from day 1 and also look to raise money from a good investor but the money raised should be mainly used in bringing out a innovative product.
