Start-up launch pad: Indonesia and India – EQ Mag Pro

Smart Energy International has dedicated this space to supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem and celebrating champions of innovation. Read up about a selection of highly innovative small ventures from India and Indonesia.

ION Energy aims to create a generational impact by solving the biggest problem of our generation, climate change. As the world accelerates towards zero emissions and renewables, efficient energy storage still remains a question.

This is where we come in, providing companies access to a technology infrastructure that blends advanced electronics and analytics, such as AI, ML, Big Data, with deep domain expertise in energy storage. ION Energy plans to shepherd the gradual and seemingly inevitable shift from fossil fuels to electric energy.

ION Energy offers products and services that help optimize battery performance and enhance lithium-ion batteries’ lifetime value in electric vehicles and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Using our technology, companies can buy or build their own Battery Management System (BMS), which measures cell voltages, keeps balanced charge cycles, and controls safety systems.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are the automobile industry’s second coming as they are solely responsible for the sector’s impending transformation into a renewable alternative. India has also shown considerable progress in the EV space.

Today, EV and energy companies worldwide are leveraging our proprietary algorithms for energy assets’ Health Monitoring, Warranty Management, Fleet Management, Predictive Maintenance, Anomaly Detection, Performance Benchmarking, Charger Management, and Energy Demand Forecasting.

ION Energy is a tier-1 supplier to manufacturers like Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company, the two major Indian OEMs that have entered the EV segment. Over the last three years, we have become the largest BMS company in India, and over 30,000 vehicles on Indian roads are running on our BMS.

Words of wisdom for other start-ups?

If I were to give one piece of advice, it would be around self-reflection. It is all in you.

Life is happening. All that you have to do is be conscious and self-aware to know that life is happening for us, not to us. So this notion of being able to sit with yourself and ask some very existential questions like: “Who am I?”, “Who do I want to serve?”, “How can I extend the impact for the life of that service?” And whatever it is, the ‘mission of building a sustainable future so that we have a future’ underlies it all. A simple counterintuitive yet intuitive way of approaching how you can do your life’s best work.
