Necessity is the mother of invention. The stress is even greater today than ever before. Never before in the history of mankind has so many external changes occurred as they are happening today. Across the board, be it in the way we communicate or work or travel, there is very little familiarity to what has been intimate for so long. Though technology is the culprit that has altered much, there could have been no escape. .
Around the world, while the new-age technologies are fascinating a large number of people, there are some who are shying away or daunted. Unable to catch up or fathom these, will, sadly, mean losing out on modern ways of business or interactions. But that could be a remote possibility for Nishant Arya, executive director, JBM Group, or his team at the company.
For one, under Arya, the Group has been highly proactive in adopting engineering science and novel methods of business and manufacturing. It has also been a leader in auto components and systems for more than three decades. But there was little intention to continue remaining a supplier. It stepped into the shoes of an OEM with panache and quickly diversified its portfolio anticipating years ago that vehicles will not remain what they were.
THE FUTURE IS ELECTRIC
For some time now, the JBM Group is in the news for its electric bus. It recently ran a trial run of the electric bus ECO-LIFE, a JBM Solaris Electric Vehicles joint venture. ECO-LIFE, a zero emission vehicle, will save around 1000 equivalent tonnes of carbon dioxide and 350,000 litres of diesel over 10 years of operation.
Then there are its international tie-ups – now a common leaning among large auto component makers – not to forget its path-breaking EV charging infrastructure and solar energy generation projects.
