Pune: Log9 Materials, an indigenous deep-tech startup, is redefining the electric vehicle (EV) industry’s battery charging standards with its two-wheeler and three-wheeler battery pack utilising the supercapacitor expertise. The startup founders and three forward-thinking young technologists – Akshay Singhal, Kartik Hajela and Pankaj Sharma – claim that their batteries can charge a two-wheeler in 15 minutes and three-wheelers in 35 minutes with battery life as long as 15 years.

Akshay comes from the small town of Deoband in Saharanpur district while Kartik hails from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. While Akshay was pursuing Material Sciences, Kartik did his Chemical Engineering in IIT Roorkee. The two started a material sciences company in 2015 with an idea of creating local indigenous capacity and competency to create nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, for using in various applications.
