When I speak to founders, one thing becomes crystal clear! A few days back, I met a founder who’s building something amazing in the EV space. Unhone kaha, "Log aaj bhi sochte hain ki EV sirf bade shehron ke liye hai, but sach yeh hai ki EV ka revolution chhote shehron aur gaon tak pahuch raha hai." - We discussed how the EV market in India is not just about Tesla-like cars—it’s about affordable two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and even electric buses that are reshaping our roads. - This conversation made me realize how EVs are no longer just about going green—they’re about saving money, improving mobility, and building a cleaner future for India. 🌱 - But every revolution comes with its own challenges. Founders told me about: Charging infrastructure ka struggle: How more charging stations can boost EV adoption. Battery costs: Kaise innovative solutions is cost ko neeche la rahi hain. Government support: Subsidies aur incentives ka impact EV adoption ko aage badhane mein. One thing was clear: Founders believe India’s EV market is a goldmine, and those investing now will be the leaders of tomorrow. What do you think about EVs? Are you excited to be a part of this revolution? Would love to know your thoughts in the comments! 👇 Stay tuned for my upcoming video, where I break down the EV market, its growth, and its impact in much more detail!

No impairment can be a hurdle for a determined person. 33 year old entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla, CEO, Bollant Industries Pvt Ltd, proves it beyond any doubt. Most of us may already know that his life story inspired the Tushar Hiranandani directed film Srikanth. An unconventional, inclusivity and sustainability focused business venture of creating value out of waste is one of the reflections of the exemplary individual's mindset. In the 20 minute long interview below, we discuss, -- Value creation out of waste (India produces an estimated 62 million tonnes of it annually) -- How waste can contribute to India's $5 trillion #economy journey -- Policy interventions -- Cost-efficient, environment-friendly approach to #industrialisation -- Why #failure is important to #succeed -- Mitigating social #stigmas and #challenges ...and more (By the way, it won't be surprising to see another movie made on him, if he realises his ambition of becoming the President of India one day.) #Manufacturing #Sustainability #Waste #Entrepreneurship #Ambition #SocialEnterprise #India

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼? 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗛𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗩𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴! Hemalatha Annamalai’s journey is a testament to the power of a woman’s vision and determination to change the world. In 2008, she dared to dream big and founded Ampere Vehicles in a male-dominated industry, paving the way for affordable and accessible electric mobility in India. Faced with challenges like limited funding, skepticism, and inadequate infrastructure, Hemalatha didn’t back down. She made personal sacrifices and built a small but passionate team to take EVs beyond urban centers into rural and semi-urban areas—breaking stereotypes and barriers along the way. But her impact didn’t stop at building vehicles. Hemalatha’s leadership has been a beacon of women’s empowerment. Ampere’s workforce includes a significant number of women, with plans to increase their representation even further. She also designed specific products like Trisul, which supports rural women workers, helping them navigate their daily lives with ease. In 2018, Hemalatha’s hard work paid off when Greaves Cotton Limited acquired a majority stake in Ampere, enabling the company to scale up operations and amplify its impact. Today, her story continues to inspire countless women to break glass ceilings and venture into industries where their presence is still scarce. Now, she’s transforming agritech with Green Collar Agritech Solutions, empowering farmers with real-time crop analysis tools while championing sustainability and reducing waste. Read her full story and discover how she’s redefining what women can achieve! https://lnkd.in/djXsMqkA Hema Annamalai #EVRevolution #WomenInLeadership #Sustainability
