The Bolt91 Constitution
Preamble
Bolt91 exists to serve Sanatan Dharma pilgrims with dignity, reliability, and calm efficiency. We build clean, electric mobility systems rooted in the spirit of Kashi and aligned with the values of Sanatan Dharma. We believe that good systems, truthful relationships, and steady execution are a form of seva.
We begin in Kashi to observe deeply, make mistakes, and learn. Mistakes are acceptable; repeating the same mistake is not. Our intent is to refine a business model that works honestly on the ground for Sanatan Dharma pilgrims, long-stay travellers, students, and locals. Once the model proves stable, trustworthy, and repeatable, we will expand nationally across India to serve Sanatan Dharma pilgrims at all major tirtha sthals and sacred destinations.
In time, we will take this model internationally to places where Sanatan Dharma and its living traditions have shaped culture and pilgrimage – including Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and related spiritual lineages – across regions such as Southeast Asia and beyond. Our aim is not speed or spectacle, but quiet, respectful service that adapts to local context while staying true to its core.
This constitution exists to guide decisions when rules are unclear, pressure is high, or growth creates ambiguity. These principles take precedence over targets, hierarchy, urgency, or convenience.
The 10 Guiding Principles of Bolt91
- Dharma before convenience
Do what is right for the system, the Sanatan Dharma pilgrim, and the long term, even when it is harder in the short term. - Mistakes are allowed. Repetition is not.
Every failure must improve the system. Repeating the same error is a failure of learning. - Calm is strength
In moments of chaos, urgency, or conflict, slow down first. A calm mind makes correct action visible. - Truth over pleasing
Never promise what cannot be delivered. Broken trust costs more than lost business. - Systems before heroics
Build processes that work daily. Firefighting is a signal to fix the system, not a badge of effort. - Service over scale
Growth that dilutes dignity, safety, or reliability for Sanatan Dharma pilgrims is not success. - One role, one ownership
Clarity of responsibility prevents confusion, conflict, and silent failure. - Prevent before repair
Anticipating problems is higher responsibility than reacting loudly after they occur. - Respect people and assets equally
Partners, staff, vehicles, batteries, time, and trust are all sacred resources. Waste of any is adharma. - Act fully, remain unattached
Perform your role sincerely and completely. Take responsibility for outcomes, but do not let ego, fear, or credit drive decisions.
This constitution applies to everyone at Bolt91 – founders, city heads, operations teams, partners, investors and future leaders. Systems will evolve, geographies will expand, and scale will increase. These principles will not.
