Inside the journey of an NSRCEL-incubated startup building India’s homegrown battery management platforms and redefining sustainable mobility
In the race toward a clean‑energy future, Bengaluru-based ReVx Energy has positioned itself as one of the rising deep‑tech stars enabling India’s transition to sustainable electric mobility. Through its indigenous battery management systems (BMS) and analytics platforms, a NSRCEL-incubated startup under the Sustainable Mobility Incubation Programme, is driving reliability, safety, and energy efficiency across both electric vehicles and storage
From Vision to Venture
ReVx Energy began with a simple yet powerful question: How can India reduce its dependence on imported energy components? Founder Ankit Kherodiya realized that the answer lay at the intersection of electric mobility, energy storage, and smart technology, ultimately leading to the creation of ReVx Energy in December 2020.
“Getting our first anchor customer was tricky; we had to build credibility among supply‑chain partners and OEMs in a very traditional industry,” he recalls. By strategically targeting Tier 2 and Tier 3 OEMs first, the startup refined its early prototype into a market-ready solution.
Building With the Right Partners
A major accelerator in that journey was the NSRCEL Sustainable Mobility Incubation Programme, run in partnership with ALSTOM. This initiative supports entrepreneurs developing innovations in sustainability, mass transit, and last-mile mobility. The programme empowers startups by helping them build scalable business models, develop strategic go-to-market plans, and work within India’s evolving policy framework for cleaner transit systems.
Through mentorship from industry experts, including veterans from established OEMs, ReVx gained crucial exposure. “Mentors from legacy companies like Bajaj and others helped us unlock new partnerships,” says Ankit.
Three Products, One Mission
The company’s innovation engine today runs on three flagship platforms, each designed to make mobility smarter, cleaner, and more connected.
VinciX, a robust Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage, spans applications from L5 electric three-wheelers to buses and trucks, as well as residential, commercial, and grid-level energy systems. Already deployed in over 10,000 electric three-wheelers across India with leading OEMs such as TI Clean Mobility (Murugappa Group) and Greaves Electric Mobility, VinciX is at the heart of ReVx’s mission to drive cleaner transport at scale.
TuringX is a strong Battery Analytics Platform for EVs and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) that provides helpful insights to monitor performance, predict wear and tear, and improve energy efficiency for various vehicles and uses.
NAVAS is a single platform that combines vehicle tracking, energy management, and passenger information systems, making public transport smarter and easier to monitor.
ReVx’s HV-BMS solutions have also expanded into high-voltage platforms for locomotives and buses, including deployments for Vande Bharat Trains in collaboration with Jupiter Electric Mobility.
Together, these innovations form the foundation of ReVx’s vision: to make sustainable, data-driven mobility the default choice for India’s transport future.
Overcoming Startup Challenges
Like most deep‑tech ventures, ReVx faced hurdles around talent, time, and trust.
“Finding the right mix of hardware, software, and mechanical engineering talent was a major challenge,” Ankit explains. Another obstacle was the long sales cycle, typically 9 to 12 months in the B2B automotive sector, but visible success helped shorten timelines.
“With 10,000-plus vehicle deployments, customers are gaining confidence. Our cycle has reduced to around six to nine months now.”
Powering Sustainable Growth
As India pushes for 30% EV adoption by 2030, ReVx is actively scaling operations across electric buses, trucks, and passenger vehicles. The goal is ambitious, to capture nearly 80‑90% of India’s three-wheeler OEM market while expanding into newer high‑voltage applications.
“We want OEMs to default to Indian technology. Our mission is to become the preferred global platform for battery management and analytics, making sustainable innovation the new normal,” says Ankit.
Backed by Purpose and Collaboration
ReVx’s success story reflects the power of collaboration. Supported by Startup India, NSRCEL, and ALSTOM, the company was among the top three winners in its NSRCEL cohort, earning CSR grant support for its impactful work in battery technology.
“Programmes like NSRCEL’s are crucial,” Ankit says. “They provide access to industry leaders and assist startups in navigating the challenges of scaling deep-tech products from pilot to partnership.”
With innovation rooted in resilience and a clear path toward self-reliant energy systems, ReVx Energy continues to accelerate India’s clean‑mobility transformation one battery at a time.
