Chunky Vazirani, Founder and CEO, has put in years of research to invent a unique battery technology. After working for automotive giants like Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, Chunky Vazirani moved to Mumbai and founded Vazirani in 2015. The vision was to create next gerentaion electric vehicles and technology that would put India on the world map of extreme vehicles.
Ekonk in the Indian scriptures signifies the beginning of the divine light. The big bang.
“For us, Ekonk signifies our real beginning, where for the first time design and innovation comes together. It’s our first vehicle that’s ‘alive’.”-Chunky Vazirani Having launched India’s first hypercar concept, ‘Shul’ at the Goodwood Festival in the U.K, he earned the honor of creating the first HyperCar of India, and to supersede his expectations, Chunky Vazirani gives to the world a new single-seater, that claims to be not just the fastest car everbuilt in India but one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. The car also tests the company’s unique battery solution that replaces the century-old complex liquid cooling tech. The problem with electric cars is that the batteries get hot, and the solutions today are overtly complex and unsustainable. Nobody has created a bespoke cooling solution for batteries, until now. Biomimicry (studying how animals and humans use breathing to regulate their body temperatures) combined with some ancient Indian manufacturing techniques resulted in the invention of the DiCo technology. DiCo enables the batteries to cool directly with the air, as opposed to needing liquid cooling that most manufacturers including Tesla use to keep its batteries cool. Vazirani’s new technology makes EVs lighter, faster, safer, and cost effective. Most importantly, it also increases the range of EVs.
