Arun Vinayak didn’t just start a company, he rewired how EVs charge in India. Co-founding Exponent Energy in 2020, he created one of the country’s most advanced fast-charging ecosystems for electric three-wheelers. Before that, at Ather Energy, he helped launch a lineup of smart scooters that quietly transformed the market.

His big insight: EV adoption won’t scale until charging becomes reliable, rapid, and affordable. Under his leadership, Exponent rolled out battery packs that charge in 15 minutes and last thousands of cycles, built e-pump stations across cities, and partnered with OEMs to power cargo fleets.

Arun is not just solving an energy problem, he’s building the infrastructure that accelerates mobility adoption. If rapid charging gives freedom, he’s the architect making it real.
