EV Startups

Indian Startup News on Instagram: “EV owners often worry about one thing, “battery life”. When the battery fails, it’s not only expensive but hard to know why it happened. A young Indian startup called EV Doctor wants to change that. In an exclusive interaction with IndianStartupNews, Its founder Ajay Vashisht demonstrated a device that is no bigger than your palm. You connect it to your EV battery, turn it on with a small red button, pair it with an Android app, and within fifteen minutes it tells you how healthy your battery is. The device uses simple steps: first the battery, then the device, and finally the charger. While the test runs, it measures voltage, current, and resistance, then sends the data to the cloud. There, advanced software analyses how the battery behaves under load and calculates its state of health, safety, and performance. For workshops, fleet owners, or anyone curious about their EV’s battery, this small gadget could save hours of testing. The startup said its “flash test” gives quick results, while a “full mode test” offers deeper insight. #startup #battery #EV #innovation #madeinindia #indianstartupnews”

Fintech Startups

Indian Startup News on Instagram: “Fintech lending startup Niro has officially shut down operations after raising $20 million in funding, disbursing $200 million in loans, and partnering with 30 companies over 4.5 years. Co-founder and CEO Aditya Kumar shared the update on LinkedIn, expressing surprise at the closure. “As a first-mover that saw scale quickly, I did not see this coming. We had done impossible: hired incredible teams, raised high-quality capital, while convincing large consumer internet platforms and industry-leading lenders to work with us to unlock value at scale,” he wrote. Niro reached $100 million in assets under management (AUM) within 24 months of launch and saw over 170 million users flow through its platform at its peak. However, Kumar cited regulatory pushback on personal lending, capital constraints, and challenges in pivoting business models as key reasons for the shutdown. #business #shutdown #entrepreneur #lending #startups #news #bengaluru #indianstartupnews”
