BW Auto World 40 Under 40 Winner: Karan Mahesh Kadaba - Dedicated 3W EV Service Provider
Karan Mahesh Kadaba, Director, 3eco Systems & 3ev Industries brings over nine years of entrepreneurial experience in renewable energy projects in India and the Middle East. Also, he conceptualised the sale lease model at 3eco Systems & 3ev Industries, this involved innovative financial engineering for Asset Based Financing of EVs & Battery as a Service (Baas) in an industry where there was no prior track record for the same.
Kadaba co-founded 3eco Systems & 3ev Industries with Peter Voelkner (a serial entrepreneur) in 2020 and scaled the startup through Covid-19 to become India’s largest dedicated 3W EV service provider with a fleet of over 600 3W EVs, serving the biggest names in corporate India, such as Amazon, Big Basket, Flipkart, DHL, Decathlon, Dmart and Bisleri.
Kadaba has demonstrated an ability to make decisions faster in a nascent industry like EVs where they don’t have all of the needed information, for example, specifications and design elements for EVs, charging infra rollout and most importantly choosing to provide a turnkey solution to large enterprises.
“My professional involvement in the combined solar projects and EVs deployed to date have helped offset approximately 25,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide reduction or equivalent of 5 lakh trees being planted! My journey has just begun and with the recognition accorded by way of BW Auto World 40U40 awards, I shall pursue this cause with greater rigour,” said Kadaba
