At the heart of Gowda’s strategy is the integration of the entire Electric Vehicle (EV) lifecycle. Through the Prerana Group, he has cultivated a robust portfolio that addresses the critical pain points currently facing EV adopters in India.
EV CARE, an ISO 9001:2015 certified and MSME-registered enterprise, serves as the operational backbone of this vision. By providing a “one-stop-shop” approach, the company is professionalizing the secondary market for electric vehicles:
- Comprehensive Service & Spares: From expert maintenance for two-wheelers and autos to a centralized hub for genuine spare parts, EV CARE removes the anxiety often associated with EV upkeep.

- Skills & Training: Beyond servicing, the organization is actively training the next generation of EV mechanics and service engineers, fostering job creation under the banner of “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
- Retrofit & Rental Solutions: By offering certified EV retrofitting, the company allows owners of conventional petrol vehicles to transition to green energy affordably, while their fleet rental services support the growing logistics and delivery economy.

EV PARK
