Electric Car Tokenization Platform Fuelev Aims to Be the World’s Largest Community Owned Electric Vehicle Fleet

Electric Car Tokenization Platform Fuelev Aims to Be the World’s Largest Community Owned Electric Vehicle Fleet

FuelEV operates on the Internet Computer Protocol, tapping into its superior canister technology to allow investors across the world to invest into city fleet networks and earn powerful returns.

A new electric car tokenization platform aims to build the world’s largest community owned electric vehicle fleet, by tapping into the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

Speaking to DroomDroom on the eve of the platform’s launch, FuelEV’s co-founders Kshitij Bhatawdekar (known as KB) and Javier Arroyo Ferrer said the project has been in development since July 2023. The team has built a car tokenization platform on the ICP, and a car rental booking platform that allows users to rent a vehicle for a multi-day duration. KB said –

“Ever since I came across RWA tokenization, we knew vehicles were the perfect asset to work with. Not as expensive as real estate, not as small a ticket as physical goods.”

The FuelEV team highlighted the growth in the market capitalization of RWA tokenization since their inception in July 2023. The market cap now exceeds $186 billion, with widespread adoption already on its way. For example, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has tokenized 42 million vehicles to date on the blockchain.

FuelEV’s platform features a collection of vehicles that users can pick to invest into. Typically, they will be divided by city networks that users might want to capitalize on. For example, their first launch city i.e. Mumbai is one of the world’s fastest growing car rental markets. Interested investors can invest into the city network of Mumbai, and those funds raised will be used to acquire vehicles. These would generate revenue through multiple modes- anywhere from car rentals to ridesharing networks like Uber.

Users will be required to use ICP’s native Internet Identity to use the FuelEV tokenization platform. This allows users to log into the platform using conventional Web2 user experiences, while maintaining noncustodial control of their wallets and assets.

ICP is a “Fantastic RWA-friendly Chain”

Building on ICP also allows FuelEV to claim transaction finality times below two seconds, as well as zero gas or network fees. Its architecture provides optimized storage costs, averaging around $5 per gigabyte of data stored annually.

KB added that most of FuelEV’s team has been building on the ICP since genesis, and now has extensive experience building smart contract wallets, marketplaces, booking platforms and tokenization platforms.

Built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), both platforms leverage cutting-edge technologies such as Rust for backend development and Leptos for frontend implementation. While Rust guarantees safety and high performance, Leptos allows building dynamic, declarative UIs that enhance performance for interactive web applications. Javier said –

“ICP is a fantastic RWA-friendly chain right now because it has wonderful technology at the protocol layer.”

FuelEV’s Users and Target Market

DroomDroom also inquired whether FuelEV’s Web3 fundamentals could be a potential barrier to entry for users. Javier said it has no intention to gatekeep its platform for only Web3 users. “A car rental business is for everyone, and we strongly believe in acquiring users through the path of ‘solving their problem’”. They will be issued FUEL tokens, and while they may not use them immediately- they will eventually be curious about wanting the perks that come with holding FUEL tokens. This could also act as a huge surge of users for the ICP, and should supercharge future projects to create a larger ecosystem among themselves to give new users an all-round experience.

Their rental platform launch earlier this week after officially acquiring their first vehicle, the MG ZS EV has already started gaining traction. KB said-

“We expect our vehicle to be fully booked out over the next few weeks, thanks to the strong waitlist we built in our target market. Mumbai is a key long-term market for FuelEV, and we’re focused on maintaining this momentum to scale our operations.”

Why ICP is Key to Scaling EV Adoption?

A report from the International Energy Agency talks about how we’ve reached a point where one out of every five vehicles sold globally is an electric vehicle. However, Javier argues that we need to accelerate this global mobility transformation.

FuelEV aims to make individual car ownership obsolete. Fleets would be owned by the community, and individuals would own all vehicles in the fleet by just investing in the network- all built on the Internet Computer.

FuelEV’s team believes robocars will proliferate global markets soon, and they intend to be ready to position themselves as a key player. All vehicles in the fleet would be retrofitted with cameras (external as well as internal dashcams to track driver behaviour). This would be crucial in gaining training data, on which artificial intelligence could be applied to map safe drive patterns and paths for robocars. This data would be exposed to robotaxi operators through paid APIs, making it a key revenue source for FuelEV. At the centre of this technological effort sits the continuous iteration and improvement of the Internet Computer in helping us realize their AI ambitions at scale.

SportingTwist: Ushering A New Era for Sports Platform

SportingTwist is an Indian sports website with the motto – Experience the Twist in Sports. It’s not new to find a sports blog with news about trending sports topics. In the current era, digital media is the most important and effective way to consume knowledge. Our team’s purpose is to provide knowledge and updates about the sports category.

Our website, www.sportingtwist.com, is a subsidiary of the parent company – Digitally Pro LLP. The origin of starting this company was our love for cricket, the most popular sport in our country. We enjoy cricket wholeheartedly, and what better way to express our passion than by sharing the details with those who feel the same?

Initially, at SportingTwist, we gave information about Cricket starting from the International matches and the Indian Premier League (IPL). These two were the most important events of our country. Eventually, we expanded our horizons and began to include more sports as we delved deeper.

Through our website and social media platforms, we envision to keep the people updated with the latest news, immersive content and detail-oriented statistics on athletes and sports. Our aim is to create a haven that every sport enthusiast dreams of.

Our team consists of staff with various mindsets, perspectives, and outlooks on sports. While we all follow a similar pattern on the website, our way of imparting information differs from each other. Every team member here is a sports fan of more than just cricket. We cover the foreign sports that are arising and gaining popularity in our country for the fans of that specific sport. Along with that we provide information on the games that are originating from various countries, including India, and are rising to international levels.

Our writing skills develop with every post we create for our viewers. Extensive research, analysis, and fact-checking are the key variables in our content. We are here to provide absolute and complete hard facts. We dig deeper and find the information the audience is looking for. The probable information we share is based on the opinions of several professional athletes and founders of the sport.

We are every bit of a sports fan like everyone else; we know what the viewers want and what they need, and we give it all our time and effort to ensure we find it for them and us. Every day, we strive harder to cover each sport that’s emerging with new championships, tournaments, and leagues.

Athletes or sportspersons are one of the most essential segments of sports. The preference for a player varies from person to person. Fans love to know more about the lives of their favourite players, from their struggles to the support they received, the journey, and the hardships they had been through to achieve. At SportingTwist, we act as the medium to connect the players and their lives with the fans.

People don’t have enough time to watch interviews to learn more about the players. So, on behalf of the fans, we go through several websites and interviews from the latest to the oldest and cross-check everything before revealing the information to the audience. We keep an eye out for the new emerging potential players and collect the information beforehand so that when the fans come looking for it, we’ll be ready to hand it over to them.

At the moment, our website showcases seven sports categories on the homepage: Cricket, Football, Golf, Tennis, Badminton, Kabaddi, and WWE. However, those are not the only entertaining sports we post about. Gradually, our focus on the number of sports is increasing, and with that, we are discovering more competitive tournaments and leagues. A particular sport has several competitions, and we push ourselves further to present you with the details about all of it.

At SportingTwist, we are a growing sports-enthusiastic community with diverse opinions, voices, and cultures, fascinated and passionate about the sports world. On any number of sports topics, our perceptions are different; we combine our views and ideas to produce content worth reading. We believe that the details a fan reads should be engaging and relevant. It’s supposed to be informative and fun, not a chore, and we strive to produce the desired outcome.

Like every human, we also make mistakes, but it’s our will to rectify the errors and push past our current capabilities for the sake of sports that makes us different. With each experience, we hope to rise higher, move forward and someday compete with the best of the sports websites. All the while being more passionate than ever about sports.

Empowering Energy, Preserving Nature: Key Takeaways from Shillong’s Regional Workshop

Empowering Energy, Preserving Nature: Key Takeaways from Shillong’s Regional Workshop

The second edition of the Regional Workshop on Recent Advances in Environment & Forest Laws with Special Reference to the Oil & Gas Sector concluded successfully at the State Convention Centre, Shillong. Organized by the Regional Office of the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Shillong, in collaboration with the Society for Petroleum Professionals (SPP), and jointly hosted by Oil India Limited and ONGC Limited, the landmark event drew wide participation from government, industry, and environmental sectors. The event was managed by Social Friendly.

The Northeast Region (NER) is playing a pivotal role in India’s vision of achieving “Energy Independence by 2050.” With its contribution of 13% of crude oil and 16% of natural gas to the nation’s energy basket, India’s northeastern region holds immense potential, with 5.6 billion tonnes of oil equivalent (BTOE) hydrocarbon reserves yet to be tapped.

To address the region’s unique challenges in exploration and production (E&P) of oil and gas, the workshop brought together key stakeholders to address pressing environmental and regulatory challenges specific to the oil and gas sector, with a particular focus on the unique landscape of the North-Eastern Region (NER) of India.

Opening the discussions, Imtienla Ao, Deputy Director General (Forests), Regional Office, MoEF&CC, Shillong, revisited the 19 regulatory issues identified during the inaugural 2019 workshop, providing updates on their progress. Highlighting the collaborative potential of industry and government, she remarked, “Oil companies and MoEF&CC are partners striving to balance progress with conservation.”

In his opening address, Yash Malik, President of SPP, made a compelling case for classifying projects near international borders as Strategic Energy Projects of National Importance, emphasizing the need for streamlined approvals to bolster India’s energy security.

A.K. Mohanty, Additional Director General (Forests), MoEF&CC, joined the workshop virtually via video conferencing and delivered an insightful address, emphasizing the need for innovative approaches to balance environmental conservation with industrial growth.

Joydev Lahiri, General Secretary, SPP, underscored the distinction between oil and gas exploration projects and open-cast mining, urging for a tailored regulatory framework to address the oil and gas sector’s unique operational challenges.

A highlight of the workshop was a dynamic panel discussion chaired by Dr. Amandeep Garg, Additional Secretary, MoEF&CC, and moderated by Ao. The panel featured prominent representatives from Central and State government agencies, who attentively engaged with the pain points raised by the oil and gas sector and deliberated actionable solutions. Dr. Garg acknowledged the sector’s complexities, stating, “A one-size-fits-all approach is impractical. Every oil and gas project differs in scale and impact, necessitating a tailored environmental clearance process.”

Adding a creative touch, the workshop showcased a Birds of the Northeast photo exhibition as part of the Saving What Matters initiative. Presented by Social Friendly and acclaimed photographer Shreejit Borthakur, the exhibition highlighted the rich biodiversity of the Northeast.

This workshop reaffirmed the critical importance of collaboration between industry, government, and local authorities to unlock the northeastern region’s immense potential while ensuring environmental sustainability. As India advances toward energy self-reliance, such initiatives serve as vital platforms for addressing challenges, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable growth for both the region and the nation.

Aditya Ramkumar pays a Musical Tribute to the Nation ahead of 76th Republic day

Aditya Ramkumar pays a Musical Tribute to the Nation ahead of 76th Republic day

Chennai, India – Get ready to immerse yourself in a soul-stirring musical experience with “Vandanam Bharatham (Tamil) and Shatadha Naman (Hindi), a patriotic album composed by Global peace song Award-winning composer Aditya Ramkumar, released on YouTube and all streaming platforms today. This magnificent tribute to the nation is a culmination of heartfelt lyrics, soothing melodies, and exceptional vocals.

The album is an ode to the spirit of India, celebrating its rich cultural heritage, resilience, and diversity. The album features two tracks and an instrumental EP, each meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of national pride and unity. From the soulful rendition of “Vandanam Bharatham” to the energetic beats of the train tracks in Shatadha Naman, every sound heard is a testament to the composer’s passion for the nation.

The album’s lyrics have been penned by Vikram Edke and Tom Karthi in Hindi and Tamil respectively, whose words beautifully capture the essence of India’s spirit. The vocals have been rendered by Armaan Khan (son of Ustad Rashid Khan), VM Mahalingam, and Aditya Ramkumar, each bringing their unique style and emotion to the table. The song is produced by ace arranger Sanket Joshi from Mumbai.

“I was scrolling through Instagram and was browsing for nice Abhangs and that’s now I discovered Armaan. We immediately started talking and jamming and the whole experience was very divine. We started off with one song and ended up making over 3 songs together”.

“With regard to the Tamil version, I was looking for a raw voice with a good range. We auditioned multiple singers from Madurai and rural Tamil Nadu but, finally believed that Mahalingam would be the right choice for the emotion and rawness we wanted to maintain”

This ode to my motherland is more than just an album – it’s a tribute to our great nation and its people,” says composer Aditya Ramkumar. “I wanted to create music that would resonate with every Indian, evoking a sense of pride and unity. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with such talented artists to bring this vision to life.”. The goal of having “semi-classical and raaga-based compositions is to ensure that the future generation consumes musical content that could improve their musicality. “I have always believed that raaga based compositions truly stand the test of time”. Over 95% of this song’s recordings were conducted remotely and I am grateful for the technology we have today that enables us to work from anywhere.

Words from composer

“The song starts off with a railway announcement in the Secunderabad station which is something I recorded and preserved from 2009 while visiting my cousin for summer vacation”. Little did I know that It would be an introduction to a song I would compose 14 years later.” It took about 1.5 years to complete this album as it had multiple iterations in terms of arrangements and mixes and we are very happy with the way the song has shaped out”

Future vision

Aditya Ramkumar says he has over 1000+ unreleased tracks that he has composed over the last 4 years and the goal is to have them all released on his YouTube channel. “The goal of making music is not for money, not for numbers, not for fame but, mere passion to express yourself in the best possible way”

Release Details

“Vandanam Bharatham” and “Shatadha Naman” is now available on all leading music streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Gaana. The album’s music video is also released on YouTube in Aditya Ramkumar’s channel ahead of the 76th Republic Day celebration.

Be a part of this musical celebration of India’s spirit! Follow the album’s social media handles to stay updated on the latest news, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive releases.

Previously, Reliable Paints managed all operations manually using Excel sheets, a time-consuming and traditional approach. This led to a few challenges, underscoring the need for improvements in planning, streamlined production timelines, consistent product quality, and enhanced collaboration and communication across departments.

Additionally, the company relied on Tally for financial management, but its limitations prevented it from accurately meeting the complex financial needs of the business.

In search of a comprehensive solution, Reliable Paints aimed for proper production planning and scheduling, robust inventory management, and precise formulation. After extensive research, the company found BatchMaster’s Paint ERP software to be the perfect fit, offering all the required functionalities.

BatchMaster ERP provides capabilities such as costing, laboratory management, order entry and sales management, purchase order management, bill of materials, batch ticket and production, GST calculation, GHS and SDS label printing, and more.

These features ensure a holistic solution for Reliable Paints’ business needs. Reliable Paints expects this association with BatchMaster ERP to resolve its underlying complexities and streamline production processes.

Sanjay Panjwani, Managing Director of BatchMaster Software Pvt. Ltd., expressed gratitude for Reliable Paints’ trust and assured them that the implementation and support team would meet their expectations.
