Real-time AI intelligence from iRasus enhances electric vehicle battery safety.
The EV industry in India is witnessing a significant transformation, thanks to the innovation of Preksha Platform by iRasus and the development of the Battery Cloud. These groundbreaking technologies are set to redefine battery safety and efficiency, paving the way for a safer and more sustainable future.
Preksha Platform, an AI-driven solution, is revolutionizing EV battery safety by employing real-time analytics and predictive intelligence. This innovative platform continuously monitors and analyses over 50 battery parameters directly from the Battery Management System (BMS), including temperature gradients, voltage drops, and cell activity [1][2]. By detecting anomalies early, such as temperature spikes or abrupt voltage changes, it allows OEMs and fleet operators to intervene before failures occur, preventing potential catastrophes [1][2].
Key features of Preksha include continuous ingestion of live BMS data, assigning a dynamic risk index to every battery pack in real time, AI-powered predictive analytics using machine learning models, and real-time alerts and early warnings [1][2][3]. These features enable proactive maintenance, extending battery life by approximately 18–22%, and reducing unplanned downtime by around 30% [1][3].
The Battery Cloud, another initiative by iRasus, is designed to plug into vehicle telematics, charging stations, and energy grids. It aims to drive smarter financing, safer second-life deployment, and data-driven policy interventions [4]. The Battery Cloud assigns a real-time "Battery Intelligence Score" (BIS) to every asset, with the goal of creating India's first interoperable battery intelligence layer [5].
iRasus is not only focusing on technological advancements but also addressing industry challenges. The company is actively involved in industry consortia's standardization efforts and is developing BMS-agnostic APIs to address the standardization challenge [1][3]. Moreover, iRasus is working with government agencies and think tanks to provide real-world battery intelligence data to emerging policy frameworks, aiming to set the standard for utilizing battery data for innovation, efficiency, and safety in India [6].
Arjun Sinha Roy, the CEO & Co-founder of iRasus, is leading this charge. With over one crore kilometers of on-road EV battery data analysed, iRasus is gaining valuable insights into battery behaviour. Key findings include temperature stress as the most significant predictor of early degradation, aggressive driving habits and deep discharges reducing battery life by 20-25%, and cell chemistry being impacted by charging behaviour, especially repeated fast-charging without cooldown intervals [7].
In early 2025, Preksha's analytics successfully identified a thermal mismatch in two battery packs of an intercity electric truck in Rajasthan, preventing a potential thermal runaway and saving over ₹10 lakhs worth of batteries [8].
Software is indeed becoming the new differentiator in the battery ecosystem. With solutions like Preksha Platform and the Battery Cloud, iRasus is leading the charge towards a safer, more efficient, and sustainable EV future in India.
