Video Description

Building an EV company isn’t easy. For context, assembling battery packs requires companies to adhere to manufacturing standards even higher than 6 Sigma. But that's not all; it also involves sourcing resources like lithium and cobalt, developing charging infrastructure, addressing range anxiety, and much more. In this episode, we delve into the world of electric vehicles with industry pioneer Chetan Maini from Sun Mobility, whose inspiration came from his university days racing an EV across Australia in the 1990s, leading to the inception of Reva. Now at Sun Mobility, Chetan is all in for battery swapping. Tarun Mehta of Ather has a 1000-member R&D team, the largest for two-wheelers in the world. Punit Goyal of BluSmart, who has an illustrious career in the renewable energy space, studied renewable energy in the UK to revolutionize ride-hailing with BluSmart, and Suruchi Rao of Ossus Biorenewables shares her insights on climate change and green hydrogen. Join us as we navigate through these diverse perspectives and innovations shaping the future of electric vehicles.
