Indian Elon Musk in the making, Akshay Singhal, Founder & CEO, Log 9 Materials, Episode #20 HD

In Episode #20 of EIGHT, the entrepreneur-to-entrepreneur conversation, delighted to talk to Akshay, Founder & CEO, www.log9materials.com, a company that is engaged in developing advanced energy storage technologies targeting the entire Electric Vehicle (EV) space. One of their missions is to charge EV batteries faster than mobile phones. For the heavier vehicles, they are also working on fuel cells technology, interestingly using aluminium instead of the more talked about hydrogen fuel cells. Through this chat, got a high level understanding of the pursuits that made Log9 winners of the ET Start-up Award 2021, in the Most Innovative Company category. There is also the interesting story of why Akshay chose to get a PHD alongside setting-up of Log9. We also discuss how Log9 has succeeded in creating an ‘innovation’ culture within the organisation. The statement that appealed to me the most is that his sole guiding principle, in the work he does, is how it benefits the climate. Here is a young man, all of 27 years, set to achieve many firsts for India. #entrepreneurship #startupat40 #eight #uncensored #shortconversation #entrepreneurbuddies #leadership #fun #learning #entrepreneur #managementskills #longtermvision #innovation #innovationclture#EV #betteries #rapidcharging #aluminiumfuelcell #climatechange #log9 #IIT #nanotechnology #PHD #ETstartupawards #fobresunder30 #investors #PetronasVentures #AmaraRajaBatteries #ExfinityVentures #Sequoia
