After gaining a bouquet of extensive experience from startups as well as multinational companies, Abhijeet decided to move back to India to set up his startup “SiriNoR”. He is a co-founder and CEO of SiriNoR, a Norway/India company. SiriNoR is addressing global climate change issues in the commercial aviation domain by enabling a breakthrough technology to decarbonize that industry. Their innovative product is going to be an onboard zero-emissions engine that will be used in supersonic and subsonic business jets. The engine will be powered by electricity using Hydrogen Fuel cell technology and Hydrogen as a fuel. There is currently nothing like that on the market today for business jets. In alignment with Atma Nirbhar mission, SiriNoR’s mission is to make India a global leader in providing self-sustaining, first of a kind, zero emissions solution to business jets at subsonic and supersonic speeds. These solutions can also potentially be used for the drones’ industry. In future, they also plan to spin off the technologies into other heavy transportation industry within India.
