Before this appointment, Prakash was the Chief Human Resources Officer at Baazi Games. He was also instrumental in scaling up the operations at Delhivery as their Head of People Operations. His roles have entailed overseeing varied facets of human resources strategy, including talent acquisition and management, culture and change initiatives, performance and productivity management, compliance and IR, and people analytics.

I believe my experience in scaling businesses will add value to the team. Moreover, I look forward to the opportunity of collaborating with some amazing set of futuristic and visionary founders and members of the leadership team.”
“The Indian EV market is headed for explosive growth, and Bluwheelz is poised to cement its dominance in the last as well as mid-mile EV segments. As we strive to expand our electric fleet with the introduction of cutting-edge 4-wheelers and 6-wheelers in collaboration with leading OEMs across clients and geographies, Pranay’s extensive experience in scaling up processes as well as the workforce comes in as a strategic addition to our leadership team. His vast experience, understanding of the logistics space, and hands-on approach augur well with our larger vision,” said CP Sethi, CEO of Bluwheelz.
Bluwheelz recently closed out a $1 million bridge round, which was led by Venture Catalysts and also saw participation from several marquee investors, including FAAD, LetsVenture, and Chakra Growth Fund.
