Raptee
“My journey in this industry has given me a front-row seat to the EV transformation, and the progress we’ve seen in the last year has been remarkable. What excites me most is that this growth is not the result of one stakeholder alone but a collective push from every corner of the ecosystem.
Every player, established or emerging, is contributing by pushing technology and innovation forward. The government, on its part, has remained supportive through progressive taxation and policy measures that continue to encourage adoption. We have also witnessed global players making bold moves—BYD achieving sales milestones, and new entrants like VinFast and Tesla introducing fresh products tailored for the Indian market.
On the infrastructure front, charging networks are consistently expanding, thanks to the combined efforts of government initiatives, legacy OEMs, and Charge Point Operators (CPOs). This united effort is steadily breaking down barriers to entry for customers and making EV adoption more seamless than ever before.
With all hands working towards a common goal, I believe we are on a growth trajectory that looks more positive than ever. The EV industry is no longer about the future, it is about the present.” – Dinesh Arjun, CEO & Co-founder, Raptee
Volks Energie
What started as a symbolic initiative 5 years back, today has turned into a global movement as the world today collectively and rapidly moves toward large-scale adoption of clean mobility and sustainable energy. This adoption reflects not only a technological change and preference, but also a shift in the societal expectations from the automotive and renewable industries overall. Consumers today demand cleaner and more resilient energy systems. At Volks Energie we recognise the evolution in energy storage and the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as one of the most critical drivers of this change.
One of the biggest roadblocks to the mass adoption of EVs was the lingering fear regarding battery efficiencies and the associated ecosystem, for which our core focus has always been to ensure that no unit of generated renewable power goes wasted and is stored and deployed in the most efficient manner to power not just EVs but the whole sustainable lifestyle. With India rapidly scaling and powering towards its push to become a global energy leader, we remain committed to deliver solutions that make EV adoption viable and responsible. The future of mobility is truly electric and energy storage remains the key to deliver that future. – Piyush Goyal Co-Founder & CEO, Volks Energie.
