ChargeMark & Electra
Conformance testing for EV chargers, ready for pilots, and Electra, an early-stage platform for running a charging network: one tests the ecosystem, the other will operate it.
Mumbai, India
Energy by profession. Ideas by obsession.
I'm Vishwa Ranjan. I lead alternate energy in Indian Oil's Retail Transformation: an EV charging programme of 6,000 fast and 10,000 slow chargers and the battery-swapping infrastructure growing beside it, built in step with ministry officials and regulators. Everything else you will find here comes from the same curiosity that took me into that work: a body of software I have been building alongside it, and the essays where I think out loud. From December 2026 I am independent, and available for a little consulting.
What I'm building
All of it →Shramik Setu & Samputa
A system of record for informal and migrant labour, and lifelong health records built around the emergency case India's health stack has no path for.
Sanketa, Adda 365, Omnivive
Private end-to-end-encrypted communications, an 18+ campus social app, and privacy-first calorie estimation from a photograph.

The real art is knowing who is the drunk and who is the dog.
