As Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations across cities often run into problems because chargers from different companies do not work well together, Bengaluru-based EV software firm Kazam is building a single software system to help operators manage and fix these chargers.
Kazam was incubated at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B).
For charger operators, the larger issue is not only installing more stations but understanding why a charger fails when it does and whether the problem is a power cut, a software glitch, or a physical fault that needs a technician on site. The lack of clarity often leads to downtime, higher costs and inconvenience for users.
Incubated at IIM-B through its start-up centre NSRCEL, Kazam works behind the scenes as a technology backbone for EV charging networks.
Pallavi N. B. of Kazam, said that the company’s aim is to remove the complexity that arises when operators deploy chargers sourced from multiple manufacturers across cities and highways.
