Some time back, we shared that we were testing our platform.
Here's a short compilation from our recent road demo.(Please excuse the raw footage and background, we shot this ourselves at a nearby location just to capture the moment.)
Seeing months work turn into a moving, functioning machine hits different. The first runs were pure satisfaction - the whole team had that grin you can't hide, like kids finally sitting in their favourite supercar.
This phase taught us plenty. Those lessons are already shaping our next prototype.
We'll start work on it soon. Goal is clear: make it faster, stronger, more efficient, and cost-efficient in every way that counts.
Big shoutout to my co-founder @aggukarkera, who drove the entire demo like a pro. calm, precise, pushing the machine just right. His confidence let the rest of us focus on the tech.
None of this happens without the team. From marathon build sessions to constant iteration and debugging, it's been a true collective effort. Grateful to build with people this committed and capable.
This current platform isn't done , it becomes our ongoing testbed for validating what's next coming next.
From basement prototype to functional road demo, the journey's been intense. But we're just getting started on pushing the boundaries of what a micro-factory-built EV can achieve.
Stay tuned.

Just wrapped up an incredible showcase of our modular EV platform at Coastal Startup Fest 2026 by @AicNitte at Fiza byNexus Mall, Mangalore.
What surprised us most , people didn’t just look, they started asking where the showroom is, pricing, and when they can book. We had to remind them it’s still a prototype XD
Also saw strong interest from off-road enthusiasts wanting to use the electric pickup for trails, and some were even interested in the platform itself. That validated our platform-first approach.
Best moment was telling people this was built in Mangalore
The reactions made all the late nights worth it.
Big thanks to our team @aggukarkera.
We keep building. 🚀

Over last couple of weeks we were working on finishing our Modular EV platform. Yesterday we test drove it and it was crazy amazing . Thanks to the efforts of all the people at Singularity automobiles. Over next couple of weeks will be working on further fine-tuning the platform and check its performance.

Progress update, didn't post last week as it was mostly clean up, so posting what we did last 2 weeks. We have started with the cleanup and sanding of the molds with @aggukarkera. Most probably will be continuing it until next week as well. Once done off it goes to get fiberglassed. Good thing we bought those gas masks that saved us from a lot of trouble. I really wish i could get those fancy vacuum and air filtration systems.

This weeks update on electric pickup truck build
Had an exciting progress this week, for the first time in a long time we were able to look how our pickup truck would look like. Just finished with rough molds, worked on test fitment this week. Next week will begin on cleaning up and smoothing out the molds.

This weeks update on our electric pickup truck build.
This weeks update, just finished with the bonnet and front quarter panel molds along with the bed and rear quarter panels. Was a bit faster progress this time as the last couple of molds we built helped us streamline the process. Will be doing a test fit of all the molds this week and start with refining it to match our vehicle dimensions.

Update on our electric pickup truck build
Weekly update on our electric pickup truck build. Just finished the truckbed fender molds. Had to place it vertically as it made it easier to build volume but it was a bit scary as well, as my buddy @aggukarkera had to use a ladder in order to make sure we had even spread, The buck was a bit flimsy as well and was literally hanging from the ceiling using some threads we had lying around ( like literal strings of fate from the ceiling 🤣). Now moving towards passenger compartment and bonnet.
