BluSmart, an electric vehicle ride-hailing company, has initiated a forensic audit led by Grant Thornton following whistleblower claims of financial mismanagement. The company, which has been losing over 20 crore rupees monthly, previously reported having substantial cash reserves but has since run out of funds, prompting a stalled $50 million fundraising effort. Leadership instability, including the exit of top executives, and reliance on a troubled supplier have exacerbated the situation, indicating deeper governance issues beyond mere financial discrepancies.
