Nishanth Dongari, IIT Hyderabad professor and founder of PURE Energy, just got IIT Kharagpur’s top tech award; and it’s not just about academia. His invention? PuREPower; India’s first all-in-one battery backup that kills the need for diesel generators and bulky inverters. Think: solar + storage + smarts, packed into one box. What’s wild? He built it to solve a very Indian problem; power cuts, unreliable grids, and sky-high diesel costs. And yes, it’s 100% Indian-made. This isn’t just tech. It’s a silent revolution in how homes and businesses handle energy. If you’ve ever cursed a blackout or paid ₹20/litre for diesel, this matters. The future of clean energy isn’t coming; it’s already here, and it’s built by Indian minds. Want to know what’s next in India’s energy shift? Start watching IIT Hyderabad’s labs.
