Akshat Modi has spent 11 years doing one thing exceptionally well — building. Businesses, partnerships, and customers who succeed.
A founding team member at Exponent Energy, Akshat has been at the heart of one of India's most ambitious bets in clean mobility — bringing 15-minute rapid charging from concept to commercial reality. He brings to the stage rare, hands-on insight into what it actually takes to build a high-growth energy business in India: the partnerships that matter, the customer relationships that stick, and the strategic moves that separate companies that scale from those that stall.
Before Exponent, Akshat held leadership roles at Panasonic and Bharat Petroleum, where he built EV charging and cell businesses from the ground up. An IIT and IIM alumnus, he speaks from experience — not theory. Whether it's forging strategic partnerships in the energy and EV ecosystem, scaling deep-tech businesses in emerging markets, or navigating India's EV transition, Akshat brings sharp, practitioner-level perspective to every conversation.
