Headline Finding

Corporate registry identity (CIN, directors, address) is well corroborated across independent aggregators, but the 2023 pre-seed round is the only funding fact with cross-source consistency; total funding, later rounds, and headline network and uptime claims (3,000+ chargers, 95% uptime) lack disclosed methodology and could not be independently verified.
