Dinesh Arjun
Co-founder & CEO, Raptee

Dinesh Arjun, the CEO of Raptee, is a visionary leader with an insatiable curiosity and an unwavering commitment to innovation. His academic journey began at Madras Institute of Technology, a renowned institution known for producing top-tier engineers. Here, he laid the groundwork for a career driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence. Dinesh's thirst for knowledge led him to Purdue University, a globally respected institution for engineering and technology. Armed with a diverse educational background and a deep passion for engineering, he ventured into the dynamic world of electric vehicles (EVs) and spent a year working at Tesla under NIP (New Product Introduction).
His path to Raptee was marked by an unshakable belief in the potential of EVs to transform not only transportation but also the environmental landscape. Dinesh had a bold vision—to create an EV that not only benefited the planet but also represented a significant upgrade for Indian consumers, a vehicle they would take pride in riding. The challenge lay in the existing state of technology within the two-wheeler industry. It was apparent that conventional approaches wouldn't suffice to realize their ambitious goals. Undeterred by the odds, Dinesh, along with his dedicated team of co-founders, made a daring decision—they would pioneer high-voltage electric two-wheelers in India. At the time, this idea raised eyebrows and was considered somewhat unconventional, even crazy. However, as time progressed and their vision took shape, their concept began to gain acceptance. This pivotal moment marked the birth of high-voltage electric two-wheelers in India, a groundbreaking concept that would redefine the entire industry. At Raptee, their commitment was clear: every element of their motorcycle would be an upgrade, a symbol of status, and a practical choice.
