Anagh Ojha always felt there was something missing. Despite walking the well-trodden path of a stable job and a promising career, there remained an unanswered question inside him a sense that his true potential was yet to be tapped. It wasn’t until he chose to leap into the unknown that things began to change. Today, Anagh Ojha is the Co-founder and CTO of Urja Mobility, a company that’s not just part of India’s electric vehicle revolution but helping shape its very foundation.
Anagh Ojha’s journey isn’t one of overnight success. It’s built on a deep desire to solve real-world problems ones that affect people’s everyday lives and the planet at large. His calling didn’t come in a corporate boardroom. It came through a conversation with his co-founder, Pankaj, which would later spark the birth of Urja Mobility. At a time when electric vehicle (EV) adoption in India was climbing rapidly, battery-related challenges were still major roadblocks. Batteries were expensive, difficult to maintain, and not easily replaceable making EVs less accessible for the average person.
That’s where Anagh Ojha and his team decided to step in. Rather than waiting for the technology to evolve or for prices to drop organically, they asked a different question: what if we didn’t sell the batteries at all? The answer was a bold and innovative Battery-as-a-Service (#BaaS) model that allowed users to swap batteries rather than purchase them. This fundamentally shifted the cost and convenience equation for EV users across India.
Anagh Ojha wasn’t just building a company; he was attempting to reimagine how energy could be distributed and consumed in one of the world’s most dynamic and populous countries. It was no easy feat. Infrastructure didn’t exist. Policy was still catching up. User behavior wasn’t naturally aligned with the battery-swapping concept. Yet, Anagh Ojha persisted.
Each battery swap was a step forward not just for Urja Mobility, but for the vision of a cleaner, more sustainable India. Each ride powered by a swapped battery was proof that change was not only possible but underway. Anagh Ojha and his team were on a mission, and they weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. They navigated regulatory hurdles, educated users, partnered with local communities, and slowly but steadily built a system that worked.
What sets Anagh Ojha apart isn’t just his technical expertise or entrepreneurial grit it’s his clarity of purpose. He never wanted to build a business for business’s sake. He wanted to make an impact. And today, that impact can be seen not just in the kilometers clocked by Urja-powered vehicles, but in the growing awareness and acceptance of EVs as a mainstream transportation solution.
For Anagh Ojha, the work is far from done. The road ahead is still long, and the challenges are still real. But his eyes remain fixed on the larger goal: democratizing clean mobility and making energy solutions more inclusive. In his own words, he and his team are “just getting started.”
There’s a powerful lesson in his journey for anyone standing at a crossroads, feeling that something is missing. Anagh Ojha teaches us that sometimes the missing piece isn’t out there waiting to be found it’s inside us, waiting to be acted upon. It’s in the ideas we shelve, the risks we avoid, and the problems we care about but feel powerless to fix.
By acting on his calling, Anagh Ojha didn’t just find the missing piece in his own life he helped many others move closer to a sustainable future. Entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators alike can look to his story as a reminder that innovation is often less about breakthroughs in technology and more about the courage to challenge the status quo.
Anagh Ojha’s leadership at Urja Mobility also exemplifies what modern founders need to embody resilience, vision, empathy, and action. Building infrastructure from scratch, especially in a sector like energy, is no small task. But with every swap station set up, every policy gap bridged, and every vehicle turned electric, the momentum grows. It’s a movement in motion, and Anagh Ojha is helping drive it.
As the EV landscape in India continues to evolve, the importance of ecosystem collaboration grows stronger. That’s why Anagh Ojha invites fellow founders, engineers, EV enthusiasts, and even curious minds to connect, share ideas, and explore opportunities. Whether you’re deep into clean tech or just getting started, his story serves as an inspiring example of what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
In a world that often rewards fast wins and short-term thinking, Anagh Ojha stands out as someone playing the long game building a legacy rooted in sustainability, innovation, and shared progress. His work with Urja Mobility isn’t just about batteries or business models. It’s about changing the way we think about energy, transport, and responsibility.
And that’s the kind of leadership the world needs more of intentional, thoughtful, and rooted in the idea that we all have a role to play in shaping the future. Anagh Ojha is doing just that, one battery swap at a time.
