Now
What I'm actually focused on, updated when it changes. Last updated: October 2026.
- Leading alternate energy at Indian Oil. Retail Transformation, including an EV charging programme of 6,000 fast and 10,000 slow chargers, with ministry work on FAME-II and PM E-Drive.
- Building — ChargeMark (OCPP conformance testing, ready for pilots) and Project Electra (early build) on the charging side; Shramik Setu (ready for pilots) and Samputa on the public-systems side; and a few consumer products besides. All of it is on the Work page.
- Opening up for consulting — a small number of advisory engagements from December 2026 in energy transition, EV infrastructure, fuel retail and energy policy, including research support for think tanks; see consulting and advisory.
- Applying for a PhD — public policy or strategy, with an EV-transition thesis that uses econometrics properly. Entrance tests and applications through the winter.
- Writing — moving my essays across to this site, and drafting the next one.
This is a now page — a public answer to "what are you up to these days?"
