Industry Mainstay

Project verified as Flux Auto (YC S21), a legitimate autonomous trucking startup. The submission contains extremely poor placeholder text (claiming 'most people have used' a B2B trucking product) and unit errors ('81500000' likely refers to ₹81.5 Cr valuation). However, the core business is highly innovative, has verified funding ($6M+), a team of 44 (verified via Tracxn), and real-world pilots. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals tempered by the low-quality submission data.
