Certified Problem Solver

Orxa Energies is a legitimate, venture-backed EV startup (approx. $5.7M funding) based in Bangalore. While the user submission contains outdated copy (referencing a 2020 launch target) and hyperbolic/false claims in the traction field ('most people have used my product'), external verification confirms the company launched its flagship 'Mantis' motorcycle in late 2023 with deliveries in 2024. The project has high real-world utility and technical merit (Airbus BizLab acceleration, B2B battery revenue), but the PoU score is significantly penalized by the low quality of the submission data.
