Cheaper, Faster, Further: Reinventing EV Charging in India | ft. Arun Vinayak

In this episode of Lunchbreak with Lightspeed, Harsha Kumar, Partner at Lightspeed, sits down with Arun Vinayak, Co-Founder and CEO of Exponent Energy, to explore the innovation behind the company’s 15-minute EV charging technology.

Arun reveals the philosophy behind this achievement: the need to confront a problem that is exponentially harder, using a dual focus on engineering and economics. His relentless attention to these two areas has enabled Exponent Energy to scale their rapid charging solutions - from three-wheelers to massive buses.

The conversation also covers India’s strategic position in the global deep tech race and Arun's vision for how hyper-mobility could fundamentally reshape human settlements.
