Film producer Shailesh R. Singh and actor-entrepreneur Virral Patel joins iline as co-founders

Acclaimed film producer Shailesh R. Singh and actor-entrepreneur Virral Patel have joined iline, an electric vehicle (EV)-only logistics platform, as co-founders. The collaboration marks a significant milestone for India's green mobility and smart logistics landscape. 

Founded in 2024, iline is a future-ready logistics startup that integrates artificial intelligence with 100% electric vehicle operations to transform last-mile delivery across urban India. 

The startup claims to have a strong presence in Delhi NCR, Gurugram and plans to expand nationwide. It offers efficient, intelligent, and eco-conscious delivery services while supporting the government's push towards electrification and carbon neutrality.

Addressing challenges in last-mile delivery

Last-mile delivery is one of the largest carbon-emitting sectors globally, contributing significantly to urban pollution and climate change. With its EV-only model, iline is directly addressing this challenge. For every 1 kilometre travelled by an iline delivery vehicle, approximately 350 grams of carbon emissions are prevented, making each delivery a step toward a cleaner and greener India. 

Shailesh R. Singh, a National Award-winning producer behind films like Tanu Weds Manu, Aligarh, and Judgementall Hai Kya, brings strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive to iline. His move into green-tech reflects a bold shift toward impact-led business. 

Virral Patel, a familiar name in Hindi cinema and a rising entrepreneur, has shaped iline's tech vision. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, he's ensuring the platform stays accessible, future-ready, and people-first. 

iline’s platform is built around a dual-app ecosystem – a Customer App for booking and tracking EV deliveries with AI-based route and ETA estimations, and a Pilot App designed for delivery partners to manage rides, monitor vehicle battery status in real-time, and track earnings. It also offers green incentives through features like CO₂ savings tracking and a unique Green Rewards system.

Leadership comments

Prakarsh Dwivedi, CEO of iline.AI, said, "iline is redefining the future of last-mile delivery in India. With Shailesh R. Singh's strategic insight and Virral Patel's tech-first thinking, we're creating a delivery ecosystem that's intelligent, sustainable, and people-focused. This collaboration sets the stage for iline's evolution from a bold startup to a catalyst for nationwide green mobility and inclusive growth.” 

Shailesh R. Singh said, "As a producer, I have always believed in the power of purpose. With iline, we are combining purpose with performance – creating logistics solutions that are clean, smart, and built for the future." 

Virral Patel added, "We started iline to prove that technology can serve both business and the planet. With AI at the core and EVs on the ground, we're making logistics not just faster, but better for the environment." 

With its motto, “Kam Pollution, Zyada Solution," iline said it is focused on building a robust network of EV drivers, optimising delivery infrastructure with AI, and encouraging businesses to shift toward sustainable operations. The platform aims to serve industries such as e-commerce, retail, food delivery, and hyperlocal services.
