KV Enterprise launched the first-ever PIKPART Smart Garage in Kohima today. This multi-brand, two-wheeler service center is part of a growing franchise network that is set to have over 500 garages across the country.
Speaking at the launch, Rohit Shukla, Development Head of PIKPART, highlighted that the company, founded by Pawan Singh in 2018, has already expanded to 26 states and two countries, becoming one of the fastest-growing companies in the automotive sector.
Congratulating Vitoto Noswe, the young proprietor of KV Enterprise, Shukla expressed his optimism for the success and expansion of the first PIKPART Smart Garage in Nagaland. He expressed hope that the venture would continue to grow, providing quality services while fostering employment opportunities for local youth.
Nunese Sale, Proprietor of Nune Constructions, who was the chief guest, emphasized the need for more Nagas to venture into the automotive business sector, a field largely dominated by non-Nagas. He pointed out that while many Nagas possess the necessary skills, they often lack the determination to pursue these opportunities. Sale urged local entrepreneurs to employ and mentor local youth, providing them with the skills and experience needed to thrive.
“Though we may not have all the technical skills initially, we can learn from others and apply that knowledge locally,” Sale said, encouraging the youth to take on challenges and build sustainable businesses. He reminded everyone that success in business is a gradual process that requires consistency and hard work.
Vitoto Noswe, proprietor of KV Enterprise, shared the vision for the new garage, which employs a team of eight local youths. The garage offers affordable services, starting at just Rs. 99 for body servicing, with discounts of 10% on spare parts and 20% on accessories.
Customers can also benefit from an annual maintenance card that provides four free services and four 10% discounts on spare parts. All spare parts used at the garage are PIKPART compatible with various brands.
The opening ceremony also featured a ribbon-cutting and cake-cutting event, chaired by Lüdinü Noswe, and a prayer offered by Atho Sothu, Pastor of Lierie Baptist Church. The new PIKPART Smart Garage is located at Upper AG near JK Tyres, Kohima.
