Bengaluru, November 30, 2022: The Future Tech Congress organized by the Institution of Engineering and Technology featured several perspectives on the need for transitioning from conventional energy sources to lithium and aluminium batteries and the capital practicality of the shift at the IET Future Tech Congress 2022. 

The discussion was part of a special spotlight on Mobility at the IET Future Tech Congress 2022, organized by The Institution of Engineering and Technology. The segment is one of six special spotlights that are in focus for the event - Manufacturing, Mobility, Sustainability, Technology Standards, Fintech and Healthcare.

Speaking at the event, Arun Vinayak, Exponent Energy, said “I don't believe in standardization - standardization kills innovation. Bringing in protocols is more seamless, and we need healthy competition for industries to grow. Rather than standardisation, I prefer the word compatible, so that we can still standardise things for performance, efficacy and safety without compromising on creativity.”
