The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 showcased India's dynamic push toward innovation in the mobility sector. With a strong focus on Electric Vehicles (EVs), components, and sustainable mobility solutions, the expo served as a melting pot for groundbreaking technologies. Among the numerous exhibitors, Naxatra Labs stood out with its advanced automotive motor solutions. As India aims for reduced reliance on imports and an indigenous manufacturing ecosystem, startups like Naxatra Labs are leading the charge.

Performance Orientation

Founded in 2021 by Abhilash Maurya, Piyush Verma, and Arnav Biswas, Naxatra Labs emerged from a simple yet ambitious vision: to revolutionise electric motor technology in India. Despite the growing adoption of EVs, India still imports motors worth over a billion dollars annually. Recognising this dependency, the founders sought to develop high-efficiency, lightweight motors that could compete with global benchmarks while being optimised for Indian roads and environmental conditions. Piyush Verma, Co-founder and CTO of Naxatra Labs shared insights into their journey. “We realised that nearly 50 per cent of the world’s energy is consumed by electric motors, yet many operate inefficiently. Our goal was to build efficient motors that not only enhance performance but also reduce carbon consumption,” he averred.
