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.
