Speeding up the transition to e-mobility in India
The 5th largest automotive market - India, is leapfrogging its e-mobility dream to fulfill its Net Zero emissions ambition. We aim to “Super Charge” this dream, opening up an opportunity worth ~19B$/year1
Bringing back convenience to EV charging
While e-mobility ecosystem can’t replicate traditional car’s ~7 min re-fueling experience, we made ZERO minute recharging possible by introducing doorstep charging & by mapping idle time at parking lot.
We are convenient
Convenience is key to adoption and our innovation centers around that, while our technology solves complex grid & infrastructure problems
We are reliable
Reliability creates convenience & we enable that by 24x7, On-demand On-site / Scheduled charging of EVs
We are sustainable
Sustainability is lasting & therefore we aim to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions for every KM driven by masses

Innovation made for megacities around the world
Switching to electric not only brings many financial, technological, and environmental benefits, But also brings inconvenience due to lack of public charging infrastructure and long charging hours. This is the biggest bottleneck to adoption and we eliminate that to simplify EV charging.
Full of hassle private home / office charging in cities
Highly packed cities can’t provide for dedicated private home / office charging.
Long queue at a ultra fast charging station
Fixed public charging infrastructure is always congested in cities, so long queues are inevitable.

Highly packed cities can’t provide for dedicated private home / office charging.
Our technical approach
Our decentralised energy storage & distribution technology solves the typical “Land + Load”, “Peak”, and “Congestion” challenges associated with electric mobility.
Our system identifies load demand centers dynamically and matches load supply in geographical area with modular, mobile power banks capable of delivering a fast charge. We learn from the time based load curves of a city and flatten the peak using environment friendly Cobalt and Nickel free battery systems.

Imagine the extent of the problem with fixed charging - i.e. 100% electrification of all cars on the road 2
The Technology offers bi-directional energy transfer system that brokers charging demand and electricity supply from grid for multiplicity of EVs.
Why Now?
We are at inflection point of energy transition led by
electrification of road transport.

          Where do we start first? 3
          Densely populated megacities around the world struggle to get land (parking) and electric load to enable e-mobility. While tighter emission norms are compelling force, net oil deficit countries will embrace electrification faster. Therefore we chose to be enabler in India starting with 9 cities identified.
