Chargeup, a data and technology-driven, driver-centric platform working in the electrification of last-mile mobility has announced the elevation of Satish Mittal to Co-Founder.
The company says Mittal formerly the Chief Technology Officer at Vodafone and a senior leader at Meta, brings a wealth of experience to his new position after initially joining Chargeup as the Chief Digital Officer earlier this year, overseeing tech, data, and partnerships initiatives.
He believes that the EV industry today is where Telecom was 30 years back. In the 90s, envisioning the future trajectory of the telecom industry posed a challenge; however, it has now become a tangible reality, transitioning from imagination to reality. The EV industry currently stands at a similar juncture, showcasing comparable growth potential. As a promising sunshine segment, EVs contribute not only economically but also positively to communities, climate, and sustainability. Worth 50% of an EV’s cost attributed to the battery, technology plays a crucial role in its efficient management and is essential to the EV business.
By leveraging cutting-edge technology, Chargeup aims to transform the EV industry and bring drivers from the offstream to the mainstream of business.
Satish Mittal said, “I truly believe that building tech for the growing EV community could be the next UPI moment for the country, similar to how it transformed small roadside businesses by integrating with technology. My aim is to enable digital empowerment and neighbourhood physical support to build trust among drivers, develop an on-the-go business ecosystem for stakeholders, and lead Chargeup towards becoming a mobile first organisation.”
Varun Goenka, Founder and CEO, Chargeup said, “The Indian e-mobility sector is at a crucial juncture where it is extremely important to provide the right ecosystem to EV drivers especially in the shared mobility segment. This is where Chargeup is focusing on building meaningful collaboration and Satish’s extensive expertise in the mobility-tech domain is going to be a great capacity boost for the company.”
The company says Mittal is a key figure in automotive disruptions and had pioneered the IoT platform for the first EV car in the industry and collaborated on the inaugural connected car in 2016. He has over 3 decades of experience in building technologies and forging partnerships. He is a BTech (Hons) graduate from REC, Kurukshetra, and has an Executive MBA degree from the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR). He has done his doctoral study in Customer Experience Management in Digital Era. Mittal also has been on the Board of Studies for SVKM’s Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) wherein he shares his know-how as an industry expert with future entrepreneurs and business leaders.
