Message from the CEO
RETORQUE Energy, Our India Can’t Wait..
Indrani Thakur
Growing up in Kulhara village, Kheragarh, I witnessed challenges that have stayed with me throughout my life — challenges arising from the lack of reliable transportation and access to essential services.
From my childhood, I saw girls struggle to access education because schools were far away and reliable public transportation was not readily available. I also witnessed families face difficulties when someone needed medical attention. With no dispensary in the village, even accessing a basic doctor could mean travelling at least 10 kilometres. In an emergency, that distance could become an additional source of worry for an already distressed family.
Over the years, some development has taken place, but the need for better connectivity and access to essential services remains deeply relevant to many rural communities.
These experiences shaped a belief that continues to guide me: no child should have to compromise on education, no family should struggle to reach basic healthcare, and no individual should be held back simply because of where they live.
This belief is at the heart of RETORQUE Energy.
As a manufacturer of lithium-ion Battries, we see an opportunity to contribute to a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable India. For us, electric mobility is not merely about vehicles or technology; it is about helping people move towards education, healthcare, employment, entrepreneurship, and better opportunities.
We believe that accessible and affordable mobility can play an important role in connecting underserved communities to the services and opportunities they need. By developing electric mobility solutions and supporting charging infrastructure, RETORQUE Energy aspires to contribute to India’s transition towards cleaner transportation while helping make mobility more accessible to more people.
Our vision aligns with India’s broader ambitions for electrification and sustainable development, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those relating to quality education, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, and sustainable communities.
We recognise that electrification alone cannot solve every challenge faced by rural India. But we believe it can be an important part of the solution — helping build a future in which distance becomes less of a barrier and access to opportunity becomes more achievable.
For me, this mission is personal. It comes from the realities I witnessed growing up in Kulhara, from the girls who deserved an easier journey to school, and from the families who needed to travel kilometres to reach a doctor.
Their experiences remind me why our work matters and why the future of mobility must be built around the needs of people.
At RETORQUE Energy, our ambition is to contribute to an India where progress reaches beyond major cities, where cleaner mobility supports everyday life, and where every community has a better chance to move forward.
Because the distance between a person and an opportunity should never determine their future.
India’s aspirations are rising. Its people are ready. Its future is calling.
Our India Can’t Wait.
With purpose and commitment,
CEO
