Dhawal Khullar is the brains behind India’s first homegrown premium electric SUV. He co-founded Pravaig Dynamics with a vision thirty years ago, long before EVs went mainstream in India and turned it into reality.

Pravaig’s first model, the DEFY, made waves with a 500 km real-world range and acceleration from zero to 100 in under five seconds. Mounted on Dhawal’s in-house battery pack and sustainable manufacturing design, it raised the bar for what an Indian EV can be.

A technical minimalist, Dhawal builds with precision. His startup has set out to scale a million vehicles by 2027, exporting half. And behind every metric-driven decision is a founder who believes that luxury, sustainability, and engineering can thrive together in India-made mobility.

He’s not just building cars, he’s building credibility for the next wave of Indian auto ambition.
