About

Ram Prakash

I work at the intersection of electric vehicles, energy systems and large-scale operations, building technology platforms that are technically sound, operationally reliable and able to scale over time. My responsibilities span vehicle platforms and R&D engineering, battery systems and lifecycle strategy, charging and energy integration, and fleet data and analytics.

Two decades across industrial engineering, solar thermal research, transport-sector research on diesel versus electric bus economics, and electric bus product development have taught me to look beyond component design to system behaviour, integration and lifecycle. In these environments, engineering decisions shape safety, operating cost and long-term economics for years.

A skill I rely on is problem framing at system scale: identifying critical issues early, structuring them clearly, and driving solutions across hardware, software, energy and operations. In practice that means turning complex engineering concepts into executable systems, resolving cross-functional challenges with OEMs, suppliers, infrastructure and operations, and establishing technical foundations that teams can scale, operate and evolve.

I studied Mechanical Engineering (Dual Degree) at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and am based in Gurugram, India.

I value clarity of thinking, depth of engineering and pragmatic execution. This site shares my technical perspectives on battery health and circularity, electric bus engineering and deploying sustainable transport at scale. I engage best with peers working on large technical systems, long-horizon platforms and problems where rigour matters, and I welcome technical discussion and peer review on LinkedIn.
