Shailesh Vickram Singh:
Thanks, everyone, for joining today. Today, we are releasing the State of EV Report on
the state of charging in India.
We have a very diverse panel today, including experts from policy organizations like WRI
and CEEW, investment banker Vasudha, and two founders, Akhil and Ameen, who bring
expertise in hardware and software design. Before we begin, it would be great if everyone
could give a brief two-line introduction about themselves.
Let’s start with you, Chaitanya.
Chaitanya Kanuri:
Hi, I’m Chaitanya. I lead the EV mobility work at WRI India. We work on various aspects
of sustainability, including urban transport and development. Within urban transport, we
focus on electric mobility as a key pathway to decarbonizing India’s transport sector.
On the EV charging front, our work spans national policy engagement with organizations
like the Ministry of Power and NITI Aayog, as well as collaborations with DISCOMs, state
modal authorities, and public utilities on spatial planning and business modeling for
charging infrastructure in cities and along highways.
Happy to be here
