He, along with his friend Dhawal Khullar, has launched a deep tech start-up #PravaigDynamics .

In his quest to build better technology, Siddhartha dropped out of college and started studying EV technology while waiting for Dhawal to finish his automotive engineering course.

Then in 2011, the duo launched the company to build an electric vehicle that solved the problems they noticed in existing technology.

They started by building all other tech blocks required for an EV, like chassis, suspension, and body technology.

They also manufactured batteries for electric vehicles, established a battery factory in Bengaluru and then manufactured their prototypes.

After making these technologies, the duo made the #DEFY in 10 months, as claimed by the founders.

'It has a 500 km range and can go from 0-100 kmph in 4.9 seconds.

Moreover, it is the most sustainable and privacy-respecting electric vehicle ever and is one of the most repairable vehicles globally,” says Siddhartha.

Currently, the #startup has 180-200 employees working in R&D and aims to make a million electric cars by 2027 and export more than half of that number.
