Is India set to outpace China in the battery arms race?
Join us for an insightful conversation with Vikram Handa, Managing Director of Epsilon Carbon, as he unpacks India's ambitious journey to become a global leader in battery materials. Epsilon Carbon stands out as the first Indian company to achieve in-house production of both anode and cathode battery materials, controlling the entire supply chain right from coal tar to finished materials. In this exclusive interview with Humans of EV, Vikram Handa reveals: • Epsilon's Vertical Integration Strategy: Discover how controlling the supply chain, from coal tar pitch to customized graphite (anode), provides crucial stability and security against global shocks, a stark contrast to China's near 100% dominance in synthetic graphite. • The LFP Cathode Bet: Learn why Epsilon, in 2023, identified Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) as the winning cathode technology and acquired a German technology center with over 100 IPs. This strategic move gave them a critical head start, especially as China began restricting LFP exports. • Innovation & IP Ownership: Understand the relentless R&D efforts and the importance of owning intellectual property (IP) in the fast-evolving battery industry. With China restricting Gen 3 and Gen 4 LFP technologies, Epsilon's IP ownership is key to staying ahead and avoiding a significant setback. • The Painful Customer Qualification Journey: Get an inside look at the demanding, multi-year customer qualification process for global cell manufacturers, which can take up to 6 years to achieve "stickiness" in the supply chain. Vikram Handa highlights Epsilon's unique strategy of "marrying" anode and cathode to offer a combined solution that enhances cell performance. • Sustainability as a Differentiator: Explore how Epsilon's commitment to a 10% lower carbon footprint and zero water discharge is not just compliance but a strategic advantage, making them a preferred supplier for sustainability-focused clients, and how India's material production has a 70% lower carbon footprint than China's. • Massive Global Investments: Learn about Epsilon's significant projects across India (Karnataka: ₹9,000 Cr by 2030), North Carolina ($650M), and Finland (€500M), aimed at building 1 lakh tons of capacity and making India a net exporter of battery materials. • The Future of Battery Chemistry: Vikram Handa shares his bullish outlook on Sodium-ion batteries and hard carbon (anode for sodium-ion), seeing it as the next big disruptor rapidly commercializing in China, much like LFP's rise. • Making India a Global Exporter: Discover the "single biggest unlock" to transform India into a global battery material exporter – policy that encourages customers, brings in technology, and fosters international collaborations (like "friendshoring" with the US on critical minerals). He also champions graphite as the most underrated battery material . This conversation offers vital insights for entrepreneurs, investors, and policy watchers keen on India's accelerating role in the global EV and energy storage revolution.

VinFast VF6 Walkaround Review
Dr. Lalit Singh shares his incredible and unconventional journey, which he describes as a "rollercoaster." Despite getting low marks in his 10th-grade exams and initially feeling like his world had ended, he went on to become a doctor as per his father's wishes. However, an inner calling to do something different led him to pivot. He chose not to practice medicine, instead taking a job in the insurance sector for 14 years, where he learned invaluable lessons in business, sales, and management. A true risk-taker, Dr. Lalit emphasizes the importance of a strong fallback system, crediting his elder brother Amit and wife Aabha for their support. His entrepreneurial spirit eventually led him to join his brother Amit to start Telio EV in 2020, during the peak of COVID-19. Through his journey, he learned that "nothing is permanent – neither your success nor your failure – but you have to keep on doing", inspired by the powerful words of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Discover the fascinating origin story of "Humans Of EV", born from a discussion at a dining table with his family in 2021. This community was created to address the myths and confusions surrounding EVs in India, such as range anxiety and charger availability, by bridging the gap between the public, product, and policy. Humans Of EV has rapidly grown to nearly 27,000 subscribers for its magazine, "The Green Root," establishing a strong footprint across social media. Dr. Lalit delves into the challenges of starting Telio EV when the Indian EV market was nascent, including the lack of proven data, limited funds, and talent acquisition. He explains how Telio EV developed a software-first approach to empower EV owners to locate, navigate, and book chargers through their app, effectively solving the problem of range anxiety. The app now serves 21,000 subscribers, and Telio EV also provides a backend solution for business owners to manage their charging stations. The conversation also highlights that EV adoption is equally high in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, particularly for e-rickshaws and two-wheelers, challenging the perception that it's only a metro phenomenon. With the increasing number of charging stations (now around 21,000 public chargers) and new OEMs entering the market, the EV future in India looks bright. Dr. Lalit shares profound lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs: the need for conviction, consistency, and persistence. He firmly believes there's no problem without a solution and encourages everyone not to be afraid of taking risks. He also shares his top three booming sectors for India's future: AI, Green Sustainability, and Mental Status/Psychology. This episode is not just about EVs; it's a powerful narrative about taking chances in life without regrets. Dr. Lalit's message for anyone considering a career change is simple yet profound: "If your brain and heart say something, go for it. Don't think twice on that." He cites inspiring examples like Jeff Bezos, the McDonald's founder, Boman Irani, and Pankaj Tripathi.
