With a cheeky campaign and a serious mission, BESSIUM, the battery-tech startup founded by Ravi Shankar Sharma and Rahul Khanna, has launched with a bold vision: to power a self-reliant, energy-secure India.
At the heart of this mission is BESSIUM’s world-class lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Noida, featuring India’s first integrated battery recycling unit, indigenous Battery Management Systems (BMS), and versatile battery packs designed for grid-scale storage, telecom, data centers, homes, and industries.
The launch was brought to life through a three-part video series:
- Episode 1 – The Set-up: Ravi Shankar Sharma responds to Shri Piyush Goyal’s challenge at Startup Mahakumbh, outlining BESSIUM’s vision.
- Episode 2 – The Ride Begins: Ravi, on a BESSIUM-branded EV scooter, delivers a powerful message for a Viksit Bharat before introducing his partner.
- Episode 3 – The Opening Partnership: On a cricket field, Rahul Khanna joins Ravi as they pad up and explain their plan—from indigenous BMS to integrated recycling—symbolizing their commitment to building energy independence.
With nearly 80% of India’s energy storage tech still imported, BESSIUM is positioning itself as a homegrown solution. By offering locally developed, world-class battery technology, BESSIUM aims to reduce this dependency and power India’s future with innovation rooted in the country.
The company has roped in EFGH Brand Innovations, the creative hotshop founded by award-winning Emmanuel Upputuru, to manage integrated brand solutions across strategy, creative, and PR.
“If we’re serious about building a Viksit Bharat, we can’t run on borrowed energy. At BESSIUM, our goal is to become the couplers of India’s energy storage ecosystem. Our tech is clean, scalable, and proudly made in India—from design to delivery,”
– Ravi Shankar Sharma, founder of BESSIUM.
“At BESSIUM, execution isn’t just about specs—it’s about building an ecosystem. From India’s first indigenous BMS to in-house recycling, we’re creating solutions that are made for India, in India.”
– Rahul Khanna, co-founder and COO of BESSIUM.
