About

We know about the menace of plastic around us, and soon we will find ourselves amidst batteries if we don't act now. We at Nunam strive to build an ecosystem to enhance the resource efficiency of batteries before they are recycled. Improving energy access to the millions underserved in the current energy economy will eradicate poverty. Nunam would like to be the catalyst of this transformation.

Experience

Nunam

Co-Founder

Jan 2019 – Present · 7 yrs 2 mos · Bengaluru Area, India

Nunam is an early stage startup set on a journey to build energy storage devices that run on used lithium-ion batteries.The objective is to develop best in class and hyper-efficient technologies, products and processes to reuse batteries from any source and at scale. We do this primarily for those communities who need affordable energy the most and live with less or no access to electricity today.
