Honored to attend the annual Bharat EV Charging Conclave 2025 in New Delhi, led by Indian Charge Point Operators Association This was a highly engaging series of discussions on and off stage, from policy to execution, with the who’s- who of the Indian EV charging industry, from CPOs to Charger and Vehicle OEMs to software vendors. We truly felt the collective power of a group moving with intent and building a meaningful presence for the future of EV charging in India. Excited to keep building on these conversations and collaborating with industry leaders to accelerate sustainable mobility. #BharatEVConclave #SteamA #Iris #EVCharging #SustainableMobility Vishwanath Surendiran

Fleet charging costs are rising, but they don’t have to Unplanned charging often leads to demand spikes, higher tariffs, and wasted energy, leaving operators with mounting costs. That’s where Iris Fleet comes in. By dynamically scheduling charging across vehicles and balancing site loads, one pilot achieved 30% lower energy costs across 84 electric buses, without changing a single charger. Smarter scheduling, smoother operations, and measurable savings. 👉 Learn more from the link in the comments #EVFleet #FleetManagement #SmartCharging #EVInfrastructure #SustainableTransport

Downtime doesn’t just break chargers, it breaks customer trust. Most networks struggle to stay on top of both planned maintenance and those unexpected failures that cause hours of lost revenue. That’s why we built Iris r-one’s Automated Scheduling System. It: ✔️ Sends proactive service alerts & notifications ✔️ Tracks both planned & urgent repairs ✔️ Prioritizes tasks based on charger health By keeping maintenance organized and predictive, networks see significantly reduced downtime and more reliable operations, without the firefighting. 🔗 Learn more from the link in the comments #EVCharging #PredictiveMaintenance #EVChargerReliability #ChargePointOperators #IrisRone

A few of us from Steam-A were at IIM Bangalore Alumni Association (IIMBAA)’s Global Mobility Summit over the weekend, an energising day that felt less like a conference and more like a movement. Amid the thought-provoking keynotes on resilience and disruption, deep-dive panels on EV transformation, ESG, semiconductors, and AI in mobility, We also had the chance to show Iris, which is already delivering outcomes like: - App ratings jumping from 4.1 -> 4.7 in just weeks - Reduced session failure rate by 60% - Upto 95% of Charger Downtime Predicted, upto 21 Days in Advance - Identifying upto 60 % of chargers likely to cause ~90 % of next-week downtime Grateful to the organisers, speakers, and volunteers for bringing this event together! We are looking forward to building with the people we met there. #IIMBAA #GlobalMobilitySummit #Mobility #EVCharging #Bengaluru Vishwanath Surendiran Ramya Baskaran Pratheep Chinnasamy Timothy Jerald

We love seeing students explore how design thinking can transform EV charging. As part of SPJIMR SP Jain Institute of Management & Research’s Wise Innovation coursework, this student, Adhithya Sekhar, studied Steam-A’s approach to solving reliability challenges, from co-creation with CPOs to building scalable, modular solutions. We’re glad to see our work spark conversations and inspire the next generation of innovators. #EVCharging #DesignThinking #FutureGeneration #CleanEnergy #Innovation Iris
With so much buzz around EVs, charging infrastructure, and government schemes supporting the transition, did anyone actually solve for the reliability in EV charging? Yes! Mr. Vishwanath Surendiran and his team at Steam-A did exactly that. As part of my Wise Innovation Foundations coursework at SPJIMR SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, I had the chance to dive into Steam-A's journey, and it has been nothing short of inspiring. I first met Vishwanath Surendiran as a chief guest at an ECE ASSOCIATION PSG CT event, where his sharp insights stood out. When I had to pick a company for my coursework, Steam-A was a no brainer. The Problem they’re solving: Nearly 40% of public EV charging attempts fail globally, creating “service anxiety” that slows adoption. Steam-A asked: How do we fix this? And what do users actually need? The Wise Innovation: Steam-A's Iris platform represents a paradigm shift from technical-led to design-led EV charging management. Their approach embodies everything we have learned about design thinking, putting empathy at the center of the design process. This is 'Wise Innovation' in action. Their flagship product Iris Suite integrates everything from charge management, predictive maintenance, fleet optimization and energy orchestration. It also provides tools for executive dashboards for actionable insights and a virtual charger simulator to cut testing costs. Together, these solutions make EV charging smarter, scalable, and truly reliable. What Makes It Wise: 1. They co-create with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and design iteratively from the user’s perspective. 2. Modular solutions make it scalable across clients. 3. Deep research across India and EU keeps them ahead of the curve. Results: 1. Onboarded CPOs like Zeon Charging(South India's largest CPOs), Zappang technocorp, Hydra Electric, Montra Electric. 2. Zeon app ratings jumped from 3.9 → 4.7, with 100,000+ users now charging reliably. 3. 20% cut in repair time; 95% downtime predicted weeks ahead with Iris r-one. 4. 22% drop in EV Fleet Demand Charges through Iris-fleet. Triple Bottom Line Impact: People: 100,000+ users with enhanced reliability. Planet: 8+ million units of electricity managed, up to 30% energy savings. Profit: Trusted by South India’s largest CPOs; pilots underway in the EU. SDG Alignment: SDG 7 (Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities). Steam-A shows how design-led, empathy-driven solutions can transform industries. A big thank you to Vishwanath Surendiran, bigger thanks to Pratheep Chinnasamy for guiding this exploration, and SPJIMR SP Jain Institute of Management & Research for creating such opportunities. What are your thoughts on the future of design-led innovation in sustainability? Have you seen other companies putting empathy at the center? #WiseInnovation #SPJIMR #PGDM #EVCharging #DesignThinking #SustainableDevelopment #TripleBottomLine #ResponsibleInnovation #SocialImpact #SDGs #Sustainability #SteamA
