The story of Folks Motor begins with its founder Nikhil Khurana, a relentless innovator driven by a vision to revolutionise the Indian automotive sector. From an early age, his passion for technology and automobiles set him apart. As a teenager, he was already exploring xEV concepts, long before sustainability became a global priority.
At just 15, he developed a prototype hybrid system for manual transmission vehicles, an idea that would later form the foundation of Folks Motor. Armed with a self-taught understanding of vehicle mechanics, he began drafting patents while still in engineering school, selling personal assets to fund his vision.
Defying industry norms, he created not just a product but an entirely new category - xEV, a universal electrification solution for vehicles of all sizes and types. His entrepreneurial journey is marked by resilience and a refusal to compromise. His globally patented Hybrid ReGeN Drive system, central to the xEV concept, redefines retrofit technology making electric conversion accessible and cost-effective to electrify India’s vast fleet of manual transmission vehicles.
Today, Nikhil stands as a pioneer, leading a company that not only champions sustainability but also democratises access to xEV technology. His story is one of grit, creativity, and unwavering commitment to creating a cleaner, greener future for the world.
Under Nikhil's leadership, Folks Motor has made significant strides in the automotive sector, offering retrofit kits compatible with various car models and ensuring a seamless transition to xEVs. With over a decade of experience in electric vehicle technology, Nikhil continues to drive the company's vision forward, advocating for a greener future while addressing the challenges of traditional automotive practices in India
