GODI India Manufactures India’s First Ever 5.2 Ah 21700 Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Cells

GODI India, the first Indian company to get BIS certification to sell lithium-ion cells made with home grown technology, has achieved another milestone by manufacturing India’s first ever 5.2 Ah 21700 cylindrical lithium-ion cells with an energy density of 275 Wh/kg based on silicon anode technology. The electrode composition has been indigenously developed as per the market requirement. With the use of silicon in the anode, an electric vehicle could achieve a greater range, up to 15-20% compared to graphite, on a single charge due to the increased energy density.

Aiming to solve the never-ending demand of commuters related to electric vehicle range anxiety, GODI India is making inroads in the manufacture of high energy density lithium-ion cells using Silicon, which is one of the most abundant elements on earth’s crest.

Commenting on this achievement, Mr. Mahesh Godi, Founder and CEO of GODI India said, “We are delighted to announce the manufacturing of 5.2 Ah lithium-ion cells at our Hyderabad facility. With the boom in EV sector constituting two, three and four wheelers in India and across the world, the need of high energy cells have become very essential. We have already delivered 5.0Ah cells to top six OEMs in India and planning to deliver 5.2Ah cells in the near future. We believe that these high energy density cells developed with in-house technology will be an important landmark for ‘Made in India’ for domestic and international market.”

Sharing more details on the future plans, Mr. Mahesh said, GODI India is continuously innovating in the anode and cathode areas and planning to achieve >5.6Ah high-energy and high-power cells for the first time. GODI India has firmly planned for a 100 MWh pilot production facility for 5.0 - 5.2Ah cells followed by a GWh plant to cater to the requirements of the highly demanding electric two wheeler’s needs, which is more than 50GWh by 2030 exclusive for electric two wheelers battery segment.

With a lithium-ion cell market size of USD 5 billion for E2W by 2030, silicon is the future of energy storage as it can store nearly ten times the energy when compared to the traditional graphite anode. However, it comes with close to 400 % of volume expansion during its charge and discharge process making it difficult to stabilize. GODI India has developed an eco-friendly water-based electrode manufacturing process to stabilise the silicon, which has been successfully utilized in the manufacturing of the 5.2 Ah lithium-ion cells. In an attempt towards formulating a sustainable future, GODI India is also practising home-grown, clean, and environment-friendly processes in achieving its high energy density goals and ESG Guidelines.

About GODI India

GODI India is the first Indian company to get BIS certification to sell lithium-ion cells made with home grown technology and also the first Indian company to enter into a public-private partnership for large scale advanced lithium-ion cells manufacturing with CSIR-CECRI. GODI India is an innovative cell manufacturer, focusing on research and development (R&D) and Giga scale Manufacturing (Indigenous Gigafactory) and Recycling of sustainable green energy storage technology.

Choosing Your Own Salary Day Is No Longer An Alien Concept Says Jupiter In Its Latest Campaign

Jupiter, the 1 app for everything money, has released a new campaign with ad films for its latest offering: On-Demand Salary. In a world used to getting things on-demand, Jupiter now lets users withdraw their salary on any day with On-Demand Salary the number of days they have worked.    

In this ad campaign, Jupiter plays on the ‘kaunse planet se ho tum?’ (what planet are you from?), a common reaction people have for things that sound too good to be true by actually making the protagonist look like a character from another planet.  So, while saying one can withdraw your salary on any day of the month would have elicited such a response before, it is no longer an alien concept with Jupiter’s On-Demand Salary.

The inspiration for On-Demand Salary was simple. Salaried employees wanted more flexibility with respect to when they receive their salary. While conducting its research, Jupiter also identified many other difficulties for employees. While employees can approach their HR department, withdrawing their salary before salary day usually involved an approval process and questions on how the employee wants to use his/ her own earned salary. This is where Jupiter found its solution. On-Demand Salary enables an employee, working with any company, with a no-questions-asked product.

The films are set in situations all millennials have been in once their salary runs dry, such as planning a holiday in Goa or buying a new dress for a big event, etc. But instead of postponing or giving up on their aspirations, Jupiter asks millennials to use credit responsibly by withdrawing their own salary.

Speaking about the campaign, Apurv Narang, Head of Growth & Marketing, at Jupiter said, “Jupiter’s mission has always been to give people the tools to make smart financial decisions every day.  With On-Demand Salary, we’re doing this by making responsible credit available, any time you need it. We feel using your own earned salary for anything you desire is the first step you can take towards achieving true financial wellness. Knowing that we have a revolutionary product, we wanted to create a campaign that would stick in people’s minds. This quirky, relatable, and memorable campaign will help users get their hands on a product that allows them to fulfill their dreams responsibly, on-demand!”

Here’s how you can get your hands on On-Demand Salary

Download the Jupiter app and complete the RBI-mandated KYC (users who have completed their Video-KYC can directly select On-Demand Salary on the app)

Once your KYC is complete, simply verify your corporate email address

On successful verification, just tap on “On-Demand Salary” on the Jupiter’s app Home Page to withdraw your salary any day

You can repay the salary withdrawn at 0% interest by next month or in up to 6 easy EMIs

Jupiter is planning to launch a number of innovative investments and credit-focused products in 2023, expanding the range of financial options available to Indian consumers.
