Arun Anand, the founder of Electric Miles, was quite excited and humbled to be in India for a few days on an official trip joining the Deputy Mayor of London for a Trade Mission to the fastest-growing economy in the world and his place of birth.
He met some amazing fastest-growing companies like HCL Tech, Wipro Tata Elxsi, and Sopra Steria, for example, who have developed pioneering-edge technology and have also committed 66% of their profit to philanthropy, which is so amazing to hear. They are excited to work with them to fit the jigsaw puzzle where the capabilities can fit nicely.

great facts of EV ecosystem
Finally, it was also a great opportunity to look closer at the EV ecosystem in India. Here are some of the great facts about India:
- India will be the 3rd largest automobile industry in the world by 2030 after the US and China.
- Today, 70% of the fuel required for transportation is imported pioneering to a GDP deficit for the country.
- EV provides a real opportunity to turn the table around due to the massive influx of renewable generation in India, which will reach over – 50% of energy coming from cleaner sources like Solar, Wind, and Hydro.
- However, as they say India is a country of mouth-watering opportunities with eye-watering challenges, the biggest elephant in the room is how will ensure clean energy from the Grid gets supplied to the growing EV population.
- There are other challenges of not enough infrastructure being built with the right charger at the right place with poor reliability, pioneering to less than 10% overall utilization.
developing EV world
Electric Miles would love to help India and the rest of the developing EV world in all of these challenges and work with partners they met on the trip to deliver a roadmap where EVs can be transitioned towards its challenges and make a material impact to meet the Government and various state targets.
He also really enjoyed learning and knowing more about the other delegate companies, such as Softools, Shojin Property Partners, Expect™, OneID®, Global Nano Network Limited, Habitat Learn, and Guider McLEAR Inavya Ventures Ltd.
