As the director of PMI Electro Mobility, Dipesh Dwivedi is at the helm of India’s electric mobility revolution. He is entrusted with crafting end-to-end operational strategies that harmonise technological innovation with sustainable scalability.
The early chapters of his career saw him steering operations at global companies like Standard Chartered Bank and MetLife, where he developed expertise in large-scale operational excellence. His tenure at BVG India Limited, ServiceMaster Clean, and Ramky Enviro Engineers further enriched his skills in facility management and emergency medical services, allowing him to orchestrate nationwide operations with precision and innovation.
Dwivedi shared that PMI Electro Mobility is operating across 31 cities with a fleet of 2,000 electric buses that have collectively clocked over 150 million km, preventing approximately 180,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to planting 4 million trees or creating a 300 square km carbon sink and transporting 1.8 million clean passenger daily trips. In the next 24 months, the company aims to triple its fleet to 5,000 buses by expanding to 15 new cities, including emerging metros like Visakhapatnam and Bhopal; deploying 350 kW of ultra-fast charging systems that reduce turnaround time by 50 per cent; and securing $300 million in green bonds for fleet expansion. “My projections indicate that this expansion will create 8,000 new green jobs across manufacturing and operations, save an additional 500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually and require the deployment of 250 MW of charging infrastructure,” he says.
Away from the boardroom, he immerses himself in pursuits that nourish his mind, body and soul. The works of Indian luminaries like Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s Wings of Fire and Rabindranath Tagore’s philosophical musings offer him endless inspiration. “Spending time with family playing chess, with its intricate manoeuvres, and the fast-paced thrill of the carrom board are my chosen battlegrounds for mental sparring,” he says.
Dwivedi’s academic pursuits have taken him to the hallowed halls of India’s most prestigious institutions, where he imbibed the knowledge that would later become the foundation of his professional ethos. “The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad honed my strategic acumen, the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore equipped me with cutting-edge technical prowess in mobility engineering, and the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode refined my executive leadership capabilities,” he says.
