Founded in 2015, Gegadyne energy is developing a Proprietary Battery Technology that can charge from 0-100% under 15 mins all of this while compiling to highest safety standards compared to any existing battery technology across the globe.

Founded by Jubin Varghese and Ameya Gadiwan, two college dropouts, the company has created a Portfolio of International Patents to build an ecosystem of Electric Vehicles and Stationary Energy Storage. The company has developed high energy density supercapacitors with energy density similar to Lithium-Ion batteries. 

The startup’s vision is a future wherein you could drive an Electric Vehicle to a charging station with less than 1% of battery and drive out of the same within 15mins with fully charged batteries. The experience of the EV owner should be exactly like fueling at a petrol pump. 15mins.
