We’re excited to share that RangeNow is part of IIM Bangalore’s NSRCEL Launchpad Program (Cohort 29).

NSRCEL (Nadathur S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning) is one of India’s most respected startup incubators, and Launchpad is its flagship program aimed at helping early-stage startups take their first major steps towards building scalable and sustainable businesses.

Launchpad is a sector-agnostic program built specifically for founders who are solving real-world problems and have the potential to create disruptive impact.

RangeNow was founded by Balachandra Shetty (ex–Product Design Lead at Google & Intuit) and Sabir Chowdhury (ex-Engineering Lead at Salesforce & Groupon). Both founders experienced EV charging challenges first-hand and set out to simplify the charging journey for India’s growing EV community.

The program focuses on founder-centric interventions that drive tangible progress from sharpening strategy to accelerating execution and building long-term resilience.

What This Means for RangeNow

Being part of Launchpad Cohort 29 gives RangeNow access to:

• Structured mentorship and ecosystem support

• Strategic guidance to strengthen our foundation

• A focused platform to refine our growth journey

• Support to build faster, smarter, and with clarity

Looking Ahead

As RangeNow continues building a consumer-first platform to accelerate EV adoption, this support from IIMB-NSRCEL is a strong validation of our mission and momentum.

We’re looking forward to learning, building, and scaling through this journey.
