Founder/CEO,
Chara Technologies
Bhaktha Keshavachar is an Arizona State University graduate and a long-time Intel veteran. Desperate to put “Made in India” on a product that is designed and manufactured in India, Bhaktha co-founded Ezetap, a VC-funded pioneer in the mPOS payment space, with $5B+ transactions annually. As the CTO at Ezetap, among other things, he led the team that designed, certified, and manufactured India’s first and only PCI-compliant card reader. Ezetap then went on to get acquired by Razorpay.
With a vision to make India a self-reliant nation during the current energy transition from Hydrocarbons to Electric, Bhaktha co-founded Chara Technologies, a deep-tech solution to make the electric future sustainable. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Chara Technologies, he is spearheading the team to design and manufacture Rare-Earth-Free Motor Systems for applications ranging across sectors such as EV, Industrial, HVAC, and more.
