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.

Varunraj Pattappan at Kinetic EV motor manufacturing facility leading electric mobility innovation

BRINGING THE LEGEND BACK TO LIFE: THE MAN POWERING KINETIC’S EV MOTOR REVOLUTION

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Kinetic EV Motor Revolution Powering India’s EV Future

At the heart of Kinetic Communications Ltd.’s (KCL) electric mobility journey is a leader who has quietly spent years building not just a factory, but the backbone of a comeback story. Meet Varunraj Pattappan, Plant Head, EV Motor division, KCL. With over 18 years of experience in automotive and EV manufacturing, and two transformative years at Kinetic, he has been one of the driving forces behind the revival of an iconic Indian legacy. From the earliest stages of the Kinetic EV project, he has been deeply involved in shaping what would eventually become the powertrain foundation of the reborn Kinetic DX. “It has been a remarkable journey,” he says. “Being part of bringing back a legend to the Indian industry is something very special.”

Building a Factory from the Ground Up

When Kinetic set out to develop its EV motor and controller ecosystem, the challenge was much larger than setting up a production line. It required building an entire manufacturing and R&D ecosystem from scratch, and he was at the centre of it. From designing the factory layout to establishing the production flow, his role covered every stage of development. Under his leadership, Kinetic established a world-class motor manufacturing facility focused on performance, durability, and localisation. Working closely with technology and manufacturing partners, the team successfully developed the motor that powers the Kinetic DX. But what truly stands out is the company’s strong focus on reducing dependency on imports. “At one point, the global restrictions and dependency on China created significant challenges for the industry,” he recalls. “That’s when localisation became our biggest priority.”

Innovation Beyond Manufacturing

One of the team’s most significant breakthroughs came during the development process becoming one of the first companies to produce magnets without rare earth elements, a milestone that reflects both technological innovation and sustainability. Beyond production, Varunraj also led the establishment of a dedicated motor validation and R&D ecosystem within the plant. The facility now includes endurance testing systems, advanced validation setups, and a specialised quality cabin to test incoming parts and ensure consistency in production. Every motor undergoes rigorous validation, from design testing and road trials to performance enhancement in collaboration with customer product partners. Transparency, he says, remains key. “We work closely with our customers and submit detailed reports throughout the process. It helps us continuously improve the product and maintain trust.”

Powering the Roads of Tomorrow

After nearly two years of relentless work, the biggest reward for Varunraj and his team is finally visible on Indian roads. “The greatest achievement is seeing the product running successfully across the country,” he says with pride. Today, as Plant Head – EV Motors, he oversees overall plant operations, production targets, quality control, and new project development while coordinating across teams and customer networks. Yet, beyond the operational milestones, his belief remains rooted in something bigger, the return of a trusted Indian icon. “Kinetic EV will rule the roads for the second time,” he says confidently. And with leaders like Varunraj Pattappan steering the vision forward, that comeback no longer feels like a possibility, it feels inevitable.

REENGINEERING MOBILITY: KINETIC’S BLUEPRINT FOR THE ELECTRIC FUTURE

Kinetic EV Manufacturing Redefining Mobility

Kinetic is actively redefining what manufacturing excellence looks like in the electric vehicle era. Recognized by Manufacturing Today for its forward-looking transformation, our journey represents a generational reset, one that goes far beyond a product launch. It is about reshaping how we think, build, and position ourselves in a rapidly evolving global ecosystem. For decades, our identity was rooted in democratizing mobility through reliable, accessible engineering. That philosophy remains unchanged. What has evolved is how we bring it to life. With the introduction of the Kinetic DX EV, we are translating our legacy into a future-ready framework powered by robotics, software integration, and precision engineering an approach that has placed us at the center of industry conversations.

At the core of our transformation is a shift toward system-level thinking. Electric vehicles are deeply interconnected systems where electronics, software, battery management, and mechanical components must function as one. This is why we are investing heavily in in-house capabilities—from motor control units to advanced battery management systems, ensuring that the intelligence behind our vehicles is as robust as their physical build. Equally critical is our commitment to deep localization, a strategy highlighted in Manufacturing Today as a key differentiator. In an increasingly volatile global supply chain environment, building key components in-house is a strategic necessity. It enables us to maintain control over quality, cost, and timelines while strengthening India’s position as a reliable manufacturing hub. Through this approach, we are manufacturing products while simultaneously building a resilient ecosystem.

Automation plays a pivotal role in this journey. Our adoption of robotics, particularly in high-precision processes like chassis welding, ensures consistency, scalability, and zero-defect tolerance. This transformation reflects a broader Industry 5.0 mindset where human judgment works alongside machine precision. The result is a smarter, more efficient shop floor that aligns with global manufacturing benchmarks. Sustainability, too, begins at the factory. Clean mobility cannot exist without clean manufacturing. From energy-efficient processes to recyclable materials and responsible battery lifecycle management, we are embedding sustainability into every layer of our operations an approach increasingly recognized across industry platforms. As we evolve from a component supplier to a system integrator, our ambition is clear: to make India a global reference point for EV manufacturing. The recognition from Manufacturing Today reinforces that this transformation is not just internal; it is shaping the future of mobility. This is about participating in that future and building it with precision, purpose, and a long-term vision.
