iTarang : Building Bharat's AI-Powered EV Energy Network

"Freedom gave us the opportunity to build our nation. Innovation gives us the opportunity to shape its future."

Every Independence Day reminds us that India's greatest achievements have come from building institutions, infrastructure, and capabilities that empower millions. From connecting villages through roads to connecting citizens through digital public infrastructure, every generation has strengthened the foundations of a self-reliant India.

Today, as the world moves towards cleaner energy and intelligent technologies, India stands at another defining moment.

The transition to electric mobility is no longer just about replacing petrol with batteries. It is about building an ecosystem that is organised, intelligent, and sustainable — one that supports manufacturers, dealers, financiers, consumers, and the environment together.

At iTarang, we are proud to contribute in our own small way to this journey by building an AI-powered EV Energy Network that connects every stage of an electric vehicle's lifecycle.

Because we believe that the future of Bharat will not be powered by vehicles alone. It will be powered by connected intelligence.

Building an Organised EV Ecosystem for Bharat

India's electric mobility sector has witnessed remarkable growth. Yet much of the ecosystem still operates through fragmented systems, manual processes, and disconnected information.

Consider what happens today when a driver buys a battery. The dealer records the sale in one place. The financier evaluates the borrower using credit history that says nothing about the asset being financed. Once the battery leaves the shop, it effectively disappears — nobody knows how it is being charged, how fast it is degrading, or where it will end up when its first life is over.

Every participant is working with a fraction of the picture. The result is higher risk for lenders, higher costs for drivers, and batteries that leave the formal economy long before their value is exhausted.

We believe India's EV future deserves a common technology network where OEMs, dealers, financiers, service providers, and consumers work together through shared intelligence.

EV SaaS for All

A strong nation is built on organised systems.

Our EV SaaS Platform provides a unified technology layer for OEMs, dealers, financiers, and consumers.

It connects dealer operations, customer journeys, asset management, financing workflows, and lifecycle transactions on one intelligent network.

For a dealer, this means customer onboarding, documentation, financing applications and after-sales service running through one system instead of four disconnected ones. For an OEM, it means visibility into how products actually perform in the field. For a consumer, it means an ownership experience that does not restart from zero at every stage.

By transforming fragmented operations into connected workflows, we are helping organise India's three-wheeler mobility ecosystem.

Buyback-as-a-Service

Every battery has value beyond its first life.

Through our Buyback-as-a-Service platform, we help consumers exchange lithium batteries while enabling responsible second-life usage and recycling.

The platform routes batteries that fall below the financing threshold toward suitable second-life applications, integrates with a certified recycler network with chain-of-custody tracking, and supports Extended Producer Responsibility compliance reporting. Battery passport data travels with the asset, so residual value can be certified rather than guessed.

Each battery returned to the formal ecosystem contributes to better resource utilisation, responsible recycling, stronger circular supply chains, and India's long-term energy resilience.

Financing-as-a-Service

Access to finance is one of the most important drivers of EV adoption.

This matters because of how the market works today. A large share of e-rickshaw battery purchases in India is still financed informally, often at interest rates far above what a formal lender would charge. Batteries typically need replacement every two to three years, so this is not a one-time cost — it is a recurring burden on drivers who can least afford it.

Our Financing-as-a-Service platform helps financing partners evaluate, finance, and monitor EV assets with greater visibility by incorporating battery State of Health (SoH) into decision-making.

Instead of assessing only the borrower, a lender can also assess the asset: how it is charged, how intensively it is used, how it is ageing, and what it is worth today. Telemetry, GPS, usage patterns and bureau data enrich each other, and portfolio monitoring continues after disbursement rather than stopping at origination.

This enables more informed lending and greater confidence throughout the financing lifecycle.

AI Across the Value Chain

Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence layer connecting the entire EV ecosystem.

Across the iTarang Network, AI supports:

• WhatsApp-based customer engagement, in the language and channel drivers already use
• Digital KYC, so onboarding is quick and verifiable
• Asset monitoring, including state of health, charge behaviour and anomaly detection
• Workflow automation across dealer, financier and service operations
• Customer support that draws on the actual history of the asset
• Data analytics for OEMs, dealers and lending partners
• Operational intelligence that turns raw telemetry into decisions

By connecting people, assets, and information, AI helps every stakeholder make better decisions throughout an asset's lifecycle.

Building an AI-Powered EV Energy Network

Together, our four live verticals create an intelligent EV Energy Network where:

• Dealers operate on a shared digital platform.
• Consumers enjoy seamless lifecycle experiences.
• Financiers make informed, asset-aware decisions.
• Batteries remain visible throughout their lifecycle.
• AI continuously improves operations across the network.

Every new stakeholder adds value.

Every new battery improves intelligence.

Every transaction strengthens trust.

Our Independence Day Commitment

The freedom movement taught us that national progress is built through collective effort.

Today, we carry that spirit forward by building technology that supports cleaner mobility, responsible resource use, and digital infrastructure for India's EV future.

At iTarang, we are proud to contribute by building an organised, intelligent, and circular EV Energy Network that supports a cleaner, smarter, and more self-reliant Bharat.

We Have Only Hit START

Our four verticals are already live on the iTarang Network, supporting real stakeholders and real transactions.

But this is only the beginning.

More businesses to connect.

More batteries to bring into the formal economy.

More intelligence to unlock.

More value to create.

This Independence Day, we celebrate not only how far India has come — but also the future we are building together.

One Network. One Asset. One Transaction. One Lifecycle at a time.

Happy Independence Day from Team iTarang.
