Two people. One idea. One EV missionWhat started after office hours became Drivecore. 🚀
One conversation two years back changed everything. ⚡ We shared similar goals. We discussed India’s EV future. We saw one major problem. Rare earth dependency was rising. Supply chains looked uncertain. That sparked the Drivecore journey. We started building alternative motor solutions. The PM assist Synchronous reluctantace motor. Simple idea. Difficult execution. Suddipto took the earlier leap. He built the business foundation and team. I focused on motor technology. Many d

Do PM Modi’s 7 PRINCIPLES really makes SENSE or are they proof of FAILURE ?
Do PM Modi’s 7 PRINCIPLES really makes SENSE or are they proof of FAILURE ? In my perspective, these are not new ideas. Most people already understand and follow these habits. PM Modi has simply reiterated them again. These actions can help India reduce fuel consumption, lower foreign exchange burden, improve health through lifestyle changes, and strengthen Make in India adoption. War or no war, Even small habits like carpooling, Remote work, or using metro systems can

I never saw modular design this aggressively. 16% higher specific power. 20% smaller packaging. One platform. Multiple outputs. Better thermal performance.
I never saw modular design this aggressively. 16% higher specific power. 20% smaller packaging. One platform. Multiple outputs. Better thermal performance. Hyundai Mobis is turning EV scalability- Into an engineering advantage. Most EV users see battery capacity. But PE systems define driving experience. PE system means motor, inverter, and reduction gear. Basically, EV’s complete propulsion backbone. Hyundai Mobis now developed three architectures. 120kW for compact mobil

EV adoption is no longer limited to metro cities,Transformation is now visible even in Tier-3 towns.
Today’s morning walk changed my perspective. EV adoption is no longer limited to metro cities, Transformation is now visible even in Tier-3 towns. I still remember moving to China for work in 2014. Almost every vehicle on the roads is electric. Charging points were visible everywhere. Even roadside EV repair shops were common. Back then, India felt far behind. Today, I saw that future in my hometown. For the first time, India’s EV future felt real to me. Every few two-wheeler

The leap I delayed for years.I finally chose action over comfort.I’m taking my first step into entrepreneurship.
For a long time, I wanted to- build something of my own. But I stayed in my comfort zone. This time, I chose a bold action. I recently quit my job and started DriveCore Emobility Systems Private Limited with my friend Suddipto Mandal. This feels exciting and scary together. The timing felt right. And having the- Right partner made it easier. At Drivecore, we are working to solve key EV challenges. Reducing rare earth dependency is one focus. Improving after-sales experience i

"E-Motocompacto" amazed me instantly. Metro to home commute solved.
"E-Motocompacto" amazed me instantly. Metro to home commute solved. Yes, solves real last-mile problems. What if my vehicle fits a briefcase? I carry it on public transport. I unfold it after I get down. I ride home easily every day. I saw Honda E-Motocompacto in person. While my visited Honda EV concept store. I felt surprised and excited instantly. I never expected it in India. Portable mobility is becoming critical today. Cities need compact transport solutions. Th

Stepped into this Honda EV concept store and felt this is how EV adaptation should start
I walked into this Honda EV concept store curious, walked out convinced This is how EV adoption should start. This did not feel like showroom. It felt like EV education space. Everything was simple. Everything built confidence. I saw Honda Activa e:. Swappable battery reduces range anxiety. I saw Honda QC1. Fixed battery suits daily city users. Battery swapping demo looked practical. Subscription plan makes EV more accessible. Motor and charger display built trust. Kids

30,000 rpm motors are not future talk.They are already entering mass production.
More speed. Less material. Better efficiency. 30,000 rpm motors are not future talk. They are already entering mass production. I came across this PUMBAA update recently. It got me thinking deeply. Most EV motors peak near 6,000 rpm. Beyond that, torque starts dropping. That limits high-speed acceleration. Now imagine pushing 30,000 rpm. System design changes completely. Higher speed means smaller motor size. Less copper and magnet needed. Even core material reduces significa

Closing my chapter at Royal Enfield on a high —by being the part of the Flying Flea launch.
Today marks my last day at Royal Enfield. Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of the Flying Flea development— An experience that gave me deep insights into EV systems, not just as individual components, but as a complete integrated product. Big thank you to RE management giving me this opportunity and my EV team for all support throughout. Grateful for all the experiences, lessons, and relationships built along the way. As I move on to the next chapte

Why Lamborghini stepped back from its EV plans?
0–100 in 2 seconds… And still no heartbeat? This is why Lamborghini stepped back from its EV plans. Let's dig in further! I came across Lamborghini’s decision— and it changed how I see EVs. “Lamborghini planned its electric supercar”… And then paused. Not because EVs don’t work— but because their customers want something else. This case taught me something important About customer psychology In supercars, specs sell headlines— But emotion sells decisions Supercar buyers

Everyone is focused on EV launches. Almost no one is talking about- What actually decides the winners.
Everyone is focused on EV launches. Almost no one is talking about- What actually decides the winners. Lately, I’ve been noticing a Silent shift in the EV space. From “launching vehicles.” to “building platforms.” Yes, you read it right The real game is happening At the system level. The focus is moving toward Scalable motor architectures, software-defined control, and data-driven improvements. Early architecture decisions Don’t just define performance— They define co

From Bosch to Porsche, the 800V system shift is already mainstream.
I kept seeing 800V everywhere. From Bosch to Porsche. And realized this shift is already mainstream. Lets breakdown why 800V architecture High voltage systems solving- Multiple problems at once. I was studying recent OEM moves. The shift to 800V system is clearly accelerating. 🌟 Bosch is developing 800V drives. They target high power applications. Bosch is pushing efficient power electronics. 🌟 Renault is building new 800V platforms. They target higher range and flexibi

E-bus growth of 4.5% is welcoming until the reality of 100 breakdowns hits
My last post showed strong e-bus growth with 4.5% penetration. But reality hits with 100 breakdowns daily. In my last post, we discussed e-bus growth. Penetration reached 4.5% in FY26. Last year, it was 3.5%. Volumes crossed 4,100 units now. But Bengaluru shows a different story entirely. BMTC runs 1,730 e-buses today. They saw 100 breakdowns daily. Total breakdowns touched 8,995 cases. 65% were battery-related failures. High load increases current demand. Traffic cau

Do you know the biggest innovations are hidden inside the stator?
Nobody explains this about EV motors. The biggest innovations are hidden inside the stator. Many EV innovations are visible. Bigger batteries. Faster charging. But motor innovation is often invisible to most users. 🧲 Slot design. Copper layout. Cooling paths. Small changes inside the motor create big efficiency gains. Even 1–2% efficiency gain here directly improves vehicle range. What matters more in EV motors: magnets, copper design, or cooling? ⚡ Let's discuss. 🔔 Follow
