Adiabatic / About

Lossless. By design.

We're an Indian energy company building battery systems, BMS, and chargers for the industries that won't accept downtime — robotics, defence, drones, MHE, AGV, and solar.

The Founding Idea

What is an
adiabatic process?

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one in which no heat is transferred between a system and its surroundings. Energy stays where it should — inside the system, doing work. We built the company on the same belief: a battery that wastes nothing.

Isolation

The system holds its own energy. Nothing leaks out as wasted heat. Nothing leaks in to disturb the work.

Efficiency

Every joule that goes in either becomes useful work or stays available. No conversion losses, no thermal bleed.

Transformation

Energy changes form — chemical to electrical to motion — without escaping. The boundary holds.

Why we exist

India deserves
better batteries.

For too long, India has imported the cells that power its most critical industries — and accepted whatever specs, lead times, and after-sales the global supply chain decided to provide. That's the problem we started Adiabatic to solve.

Founded in 2022 by an IIT Hyderabad-trained engineer with four years inside the Indian Li-ion industry, Adiabatic now operates a 6,000 sq.ft R&D and assembly facility in Nagapur MIDC, Ahmednagar — office, conference hall, dedicated R&D area, and a working assembly line under one roof.

We engineer custom lithium-ion battery systems end-to-end: cell chemistry, BMS firmware, thermal architecture, pack assembly, charger integration, after-sales monitoring. One supplier, one stack, one team that knows your duty cycle from the first conversation to the warranty replacement five years out.

Today, our systems run inside the platforms that won't tolerate downtime — humanoid robots on production floors, defence drones in the field, autonomous warehouse fleets, solar storage arrays, and the next generation of Indian industrial automation.

"The conversation should start with your duty cycle, not our SKU sheet. That's the entire reason we exist." — Adiabatic founding principle
Milestones

From an idea to a category.

2022

Adiabatic incorporated.

Founded with one conviction — India should design and own its battery stack, not rent it. CIN registered, IIT Hyderabad-trained founding team.

2022

Winner · Evangalise'22.

First external recognition. Early validation that deep-tech battery design belongs in India — not just assembly.

Oct 2023

Nagapur MIDC facility opens.

6,000 sq.ft — office, conference hall, R&D area and assembly line under one roof. Production capacity 10 MWh/year, scalable to 100. Year ends with EVitalize'23 win.

FY 24

OEM base crosses 25.

Customers across robotics, MHE, drones, medical and agri — repeat orders becoming the norm, not the exception.

FY 25–26

Scaling sustainably.

15,000+ new battery deployments and 7,000+ repurposed in field. DRDO via Kala Defence and Kala Group BESS contracts in build.

Ahead

The category, not the SKU.

Owning the full energy stack across every growing Indian industry — and exporting that stack to the world.

How we build

Operating principles.

Five rules we don't compromise on — written down because the moment a young company stops writing them down is the moment it stops following them.

Engineer for the duty cycle.

Every pack is designed against the customer's actual load profile — not a datasheet abstraction. The conversation always starts with how it will be used.

Own the whole stack.

Cell, BMS, charger, thermal, after-sales — all under one roof. We don't pass the buck because there is no other party to pass it to.

Lose nothing. Literally.

Our name is our promise. Every joule, every minute of uptime, every cell cycle — accountable, measurable, optimised.

Made in India. Sold to the world.

Designed, engineered, and assembled domestically. Specced to compete with anything coming out of Shenzhen or Stuttgart.

The team

The people behind the stack.

Sixteen engineers, operators, and quality leads — based at our Ahmednagar facility, building the energy stack the next decade of Indian industry will run on.

Backed by

The funds, incubators, and angels building with us.

From IIT incubators to angel collectives — they joined early, and they stayed for the unglamorous part: the months between proof-of-concept and production.

Three ways to work with us.
