🌟 Congratulations to Nikhil Naikal, Sander Marques, Christopher Weber, and the entire Kinetic team!🌟 Having been with Nikhil since the beginning, we are thrilled to continue being a part of Kinetic's journey. When Nikhil was just starting to build Kinetic, we asked him out of all the things to do professionally, why start Kinetic? "Like many other Bay Area residents, the reality of climate change hit home for me after the “orange sky day” following the record-setting wildfires in September 2020. It mobilized me and I started thinking of ways to leverage my background and skills in the automotive sector to help accelerate the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles. I have always been intellectually excited by infra technologies that can support vibrant app ecosystems. Keval Desai had given me the best framing for this when he explained his thesis on the yin and yang of infra vs. killer apps. All these nebulous ideas finally distilled into the founding of Kinetic." Discover how Kinetic is revolutionizing the fleet of the future. 🚘 🤖 #Electricvehicles #vehiclerepair #AI #futureproof
