Raptee.HV has inaugurated a new three-storey experience centre on Old Mahabalipuram Road in Chennai, the company announced on Wednesday. The flagship store marks a significant milestone for the electric two-wheeler maker as it strengthens its presence in the city where its journey began. Located on one of Chennai’s most prominent business corridors, the new centre is designed to offer customers a more immersive and premium brand experience.
Speaking about the launch, Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-founder of Raptee.HV, said, “Chennai is where our journey began, and bringing Raptee.HV closer to our customers here is special to us. Our new flagship store is an important step in that direction, allowing us to strengthen our connection with customers while offering them the premium experience they deserve. We hope to continue growing alongside the city that has been at the heart of our journey.” His comments underline the emotional and strategic importance of the Chennai market for the company.
The expansion comes on the back of a Rs 25 crore investment from the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation. The funding has supported the company’s efforts to scale its retail operations and enhance customer engagement in key markets. The TIDCO investment has given Raptee.HV additional momentum to expand its physical presence and improve the way it connects with existing and potential buyers.
Following the opening of the Chennai centre, Raptee.HV is now preparing to extend its retail footprint further. The company has confirmed plans to set up additional outlets in Coimbatore, Kochi and Hyderabad as part of its next phase of growth. These cities represent important markets in South India, and the planned stores are expected to help the brand reach a wider audience.
The move reflects Raptee.HV’s ambition to build a stronger presence across the region while offering customers a consistent and premium brand experience. By combining a flagship store in its home city with a wider retail network, the company aims to deepen customer relationships and support its long-term growth plans in the electric two-wheeler segment.
