Battery Smart

Battery Smart is India's largest battery-swapping network for electric two- and three-wheelers, founded in 2019 by Pulkit Khurana and Siddharth Sikka and operated from New Delhi by Upgrid Solutions Private Limited and Upgrid Electrilease Private Limited. It runs an asset-light, partner-led model: local businesses — kirana stores, petrol pumps and neighbourhood shops — host swap points where a driver exchanges a depleted lithium-ion pack for a charged one in roughly two minutes and pays per swap instead of buying the battery with the vehicle, which removes the single largest cost from an electric two- or three-wheeler. The network is concentrated in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Lucknow, and the company has raised across eleven rounds including a USD 65 million Series B led by LeapFrog Investments with MUFG Bank, Panasonic, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Blume Ventures and British International Investment participating, plus a USD 15 million debt round with Mirova in April 2026. Battery Smart's software ships only as end-user Android applications — Battery Smart Driver and Battery Smart Partner — backed by a production API host at api.upgrid.in that self-identifies as the "Battery Smart API". As of this profile the company publishes no developer portal, API reference, SDK, webhook catalog or machine-readable specification of any kind.

Battery Smart is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Battery Swapping, Electric Vehicles, EV Infrastructure, and Battery as a Service.

Battery Smart’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/battery-smart: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?

  detail: 'Battery Smart runs a real production API — api.upgrid.in answers {"message":"Battery Smart API"} and a /health
    check for SQL, Redis, Kafka and Mongo, discovered only through Certificate Transparency on the Upgrid engineering domain
    — but it exists purely to serve the Driver and Partner Android apps: every spec path on that host returns a JSON 404,
    batterysmart.in has no /developers, no api./docs./developer. subdomain in DNS at all, and the company publishes no reference,
    SDK, webhook catalog or specification anywhere.'
