I believe localisation matters most At the component level. Motor localisation needs deeper capability. It means localising laminations, windings and rotors. Magnet dependency remains a key challenge. Controller localisation needs similar depth. Power electronics remain critical for localisation. MOSFETs, MCUs and sensors need attention. India’s supply chain capabilities are strengthening. Not just assembly, but critical child parts. Motors and controllers need local depth to

I just read an interesting Autopunditz report. It hints at a possible Nano EV comeback. As a motor engineer, I find this interesting. With my experience in EVs for more than two decades, The Nano philosophy still makes sense today. Compact size. Efficient packaging. Low energy consumption. Simple urban mobility. Smaller batteries reduce weight and cost. Motor efficiency becomes even more critical. Thermal management must remain compact too. Lower weight reduces motor

Higher power density means: ✓ Smaller motors ✓ Lower weight ✓ Better packaging ✓ Improved vehicle efficiency That means: ⚡ Lighter vehicles ⚡ Better acceleration ⚡ More cabin or battery space ⚡ Higher overall efficiency But every gain comes with a price. Why Higher Power Density Isn't Easy 🧲 Materials are reaching their limits Better electrical steel reduces core losses. Higher-grade magnets improve torque. Advanced insulation enables higher operating temperatures. But each

Excited to be part of the Ansys seminar, "Engineering at Intelligence: Powering Innovation with Ansys Simulation & AI." 🚀 One of my biggest takeaways was how AI Can transform electric motor development. From accelerating design iterations and Optimizing motor performance to reducing Development time through intelligent simulation, AI is becoming a powerful engineering tool. The overall message was clear: 💡The future of engineering will combine simulation, data, and AI to in

This rare-earth-free Axial SynRM looks practical 👇 We know that High torque needs rare earths. In my motor development experience, Material cost always becomes a bottleneck. For many EV manufacturers, Reducing motor cost is becoming As important as increasing efficiency. A motor that uses fewer critical materials could improve both profitability and supply chain stability. I was reading about the NAFTech project. Typical PMSM uses 20–30% magnet cost. Their SynRM reduces thi

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

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
