A Father’s Legacy, A Son’s Promise

Father’s Day is often about celebrating the men who shape our lives not only through their words, but through their actions, values, and vision. It is about honoring the legacy they build and the dreams they pass on. At Kinetic, this year’s Father’s Day carries a special meaning because our story is one of a father, a son, and a shared passion that continues to inspire generations.

More than four decades ago, Padma Shri Dr. Arun Firodia introduced something that would become iconic in Indian mobility, the Kinetic DX. At a time when personal transportation was evolving, he dared to think differently. The Kinetic DX was not just a scooter; it represented freedom, convenience, and progress for millions of Indians. It became a trusted companion for families, students, professionals, and dreamers alike. What made the Kinetic DX special wasn’t merely its engineering. It was the vision behind it. Dr. Firodia believed mobility could empower people, improve lives, and create opportunities. His commitment to innovation and his unwavering belief in Indian manufacturing transformed Kinetic into a household name and earned the trust of an entire generation.

For many fathers, success is not measured only by what they achieve but by what they leave behind. A legacy is not a monument; it is a set of values, a way of thinking, and the courage to keep moving forward. Today, that legacy continues through his son, Vice Chairman Ajinkya Firodia.

Growing up with a front-row seat to one of India’s most influential mobility journeys, Ajinkya inherited more than a business. He inherited a responsibility to honor the past while building the future. And perhaps there is no greater tribute to his father’s vision than the revival of an icon in a new era: The Kinetic DX EV.

The Kinetic DX EV is more than an electric scooter. It is a bridge between generations. It carries the spirit of the original DX while embracing the possibilities of tomorrow. It reflects the same commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer trust that defined the original. Yet it also speaks to a new generation that values sustainability, technology, and smarter mobility.

There is something profoundly moving about seeing a son carry forward a father’s dream—not by simply repeating history, but by reimagining it. The Kinetic DX EV is a reminder that true legacies evolve. They adapt to changing times while remaining rooted in the principles that created them. On this Father’s Day, we celebrate not only the bond between a father and son, but the enduring power of vision, mentorship, and belief. We celebrate a journey that began with Dr. Arun Firodia’s pioneering spirit and continues with Ajinkya Firodia’s determination to lead Kinetic into the future. Because the greatest gift a father can leave behind is not just a creation, it is the inspiration to keep creating, and sometimes, the most meaningful journeys are the ones that come full circle.
