‘Will take this to my grave’: Is Murthy’s vision of 14 hrs workday too extreme or necessary? 🔥💪

Narayana Murthy re-affirms that he won’t change his stance on his 70 hour workweek to tackle India’s economic challenges. 

He reiterated that he won’t believe in work life balance. 

“I am sorry, I have not changed my view. I will take this with me to my grave," Murthy said, while explaining his position to CNBC-TV18’s Shereen Bhan. 

Watch this video to learn more. 🎥

He praised PM Modi’s 100-hour workweeks as a model of dedication. 💯

According to him, we in India, we have lot of challenges. We first have to get a life and then we worry about work-life balance. 

There is no substitute for hard work. 

However critics say overwork causes burnout, anxiety, and heart problems. 

Stress-related illnesses and workplace suicides are increasing. 

Questions remain! 

💡Should India rethink its work-life balance? 
💡Is growth worth sacrificing personal well-being? 🤔

⚡ 99.5% efficiency, 40 kW/kg power density – welcome to the superconducting era of motors for aerospace applications! ✈️

Superconductors are special materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a certain temperature. 

This means no energy is lost as heat, unlike normal wires.

💡 High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS): These materials work at relatively higher temperatures (around –140 °C). 

They are not “room temperature,” but easier to cool compared to older superconductors.

One startup, Hinetics  is pioneering a breakthrough in this field. 

Instead of using complex cryogenic cooling systems (pumps, pipes, seals, fluid circulation), they have designed a spinning cryocooler.

👉 Cryocooler = A compact refrigeration device that keeps superconductors cold.

👉 Conduction cooling = Heat is transferred directly through solid materials (like copper) instead of circulating fluids.

👉 Power-to-weight ratio = How much power a motor produces relative to its weight. 

Higher ratios mean lighter, more powerful motors – critical for aircraft.

Hinetics’ prototype superconducting motor operates at 5–10 megawatts. 

That’s enough power to fly a regional passenger airliner. 

Even more exciting, their motor achieves up to 99.5% efficiency and a specific power of 10 kW/kg. 

Future versions may reach 40 kW/kg, making them among the lightest and most powerful motors in the world. 🚀

🌊 Potential applications go beyond aircraft – into ships and other high-torque systems. 

With less weight, higher efficiency, and reduced energy losses, superconducting motors may redefine electric propulsion.

But challenges remain – cooling delays, material costs, and scalability. 

Yet the pace of innovation suggests that superconducting motors could soon power the skies and seas. 🌍

✈️ What if the future of flight runs on superconductors, not jet fuel?🔍

🚀 Knowledge grows when we share it.

⚙️ ⚡ “Having worked with PMSM and BLDC architectures, I can say this: PCB stators in Axial-Flux Design could redefine how we think about torque density and cooling.” ⚡

Electric motors account for over 50% of global electricity consumption.

That’s right — from cars 🚗 to HVAC systems 🌬️, they’re everywhere.

So every gram, watt, and degree of efficiency matters.

🧠 Let’s understand a breakthrough that’s reshaping motor design —

 The Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator.

🔍 What’s inside a motor?

Every motor has two key parts:

Rotor: the part that spins.

Stator: the fixed part that produces the magnetic field.

Traditional stators are made of iron, which is heavy and limits efficiency.

In fact, iron makes up about two-thirds of motor weight!

Now imagine replacing that iron with a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

A PCB is a thin, layered board with copper traces — commonly used in electronics.

Here, it replaces the iron stator with a lightweight, efficient, and compact alternative.

🌀 Axial-Flux Motor — A smarter design

In an axial-flux motor, the rotor and stator are flat and parallel —
like two disks facing each other.

This design allows higher torque density (more torque per volume)
and better cooling due to its thin profile.

Add a PCB stator, and you get:
 ✅ 50–65% lighter weight
 ✅ 25% lower carbon emissions
 ✅ Half the size and noise of conventional motors

💡 Why it matters

The air-core design (no iron core) reduces energy losses.

In a normal motor, iron causes eddy current losses — unwanted heating and vibration.

The PCB motor avoids this, giving smoother torque and less noise (about 5 dB lower).

It also allows two rotors on each side of the stator, creating a strong and consistent magnetic flux — the invisible field that actually spins the motor.

🧩 Smarter electronics inside

Each PCB layer carries one electrical phase. (A phase is a timed sinusoidal current wave used to create rotation.)

This prevents short circuits and improves reliability.

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) — made with high-efficiency silicon carbide MOSFETs — controls motor speed and torque precisely.

It even allows cloud monitoring and software updates 🌐.

🌍 Real-world applications

Infinitum Electric’s PCB axial-flux motors are now used in:
HVAC and ventilation systems 🏢
Manufacturing and industrial drives 🏭
Electric vehicles and hybrid systems 🚘
Even electric aviation ✈️

Oil-cooled versions reach 8–12 kW/kg power density, 
making them ideal for EVs and aircraft.

If every motor worldwide adopted this design,
we could cut 860 million tonnes of CO₂ annually —
equal to removing 200 million cars from our roads. 🌱

🚀 ⚡ 1000+ HP in a motor that weighs just 12.7 kg?
YASA’s latest Axial Flux Motor design might have just done that. ⚡

Earlier this year, YASA stunned the industry with an axial flux electric motor weighing only 13.1 kg (29 lb). ⚙️

 It delivered a remarkable 550 kW (738 hp) output, achieving an energy density of 42 kW/kg. ⚡

UK-based YASA has redefined electric motor innovation.

Their latest axial flux motor delivers 750 kW (1018 HP) while weighing just 12.7 kg. 

That’s a record energy density of 59 kW/kg — a benchmark in electric propulsion. 💪

🧲 But what exactly is an axial flux motor? 🤔

In simple terms, it’s an electric motor where the magnetic flux flows parallel to the rotation axis. ⚡

This is different from radial flux motors, where the flux flows outward from the center. 🔄

🔍 Why does this matter?

Because torque (rotational force) increases faster with diameter in axial flux designs. 

More diameter = more torque = more efficiency.

Let’s break it down 👇

⚙️ Pros of Axial Flux Motors:

1️⃣ High Torque Density: Produces more torque for the same size.
2️⃣ Light & Compact: Up to 70% lighter than radial motors.
3️⃣ Efficient Cooling: Flat geometry improves heat dissipation.

⚠️ Cons:

1️⃣ Complex Manufacturing: Tight tolerances make scaling harder.
2️⃣ Limited Top Speed: Not ideal for ultra-high RPMs.
3️⃣ Higher Cost (for now): Precision components add expense.

YASA’s breakthrough lies in its Yokeless and Segmented Armature (YASA) design — removing the heavy stator yoke reduces iron mass by 80%, boosting range by up to 10%. 🔋

The rotor spins alongside the stator, not inside it, increasing radius and therefore torque. 

That’s pure physics — Torque = Force × Radius. 🧠

And here’s the exciting part — YASA’s motors use no exotic materials. 

In a world where rare earth minerals are tightly controlled by China 🇨🇳, this innovation is a huge step toward sustainable motor manufacturing. 🌱

Mercedes-Benz is already on board. 

Its Concept AMG GT XX uses three YASA motors — two at the rear, one at the front — delivering unmatched power and compactness.

This is not a lab experiment. It’s a real, running prototype, delivering real data on test benches today. 🧩

As YASA’s CEO said, this isn’t just innovation; it’s the future of high-performance electric propulsion.

As an engineer in the motor industry, I view this as a disruptive leap in power density, demonstrating that electric motor innovation still has a long and exciting road ahead. ⚡

💭 If axial flux motors become mass-producible, could they replace radial flux motors in mainstream EVs within the next decade?

 💭 What are the biggest engineering challenges that might limit large-scale adoption of axial flux technology? 🧠

🔋 EVs are expanding, but not replacing petrol and diesel. 
The latest Delhi data exposes the bottleneck. 🧐

Found this insightful article on Delhi’s EV numbers, 
Despite rising, petrol still dominates. 
Why is this happening?
Let us break it down 👇

🔌 EV penetration means EV share in total sales.
 This number is still low.
 Growth is strong in 2W and 3W.
 But 4W and buses are slow.

⛽️ Fuel mix means the share of fuels used.
 Petrol dominates two-wheelers.
 Diesel dominates big vehicles.
 CNG is strong in autos and buses.

Pollution load means emissions impact.
 EVs cut this load a lot.

🔋 Why EVs lag?
 EV TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is still high.
 Battery cost is the key driver.
 Charging time adds user stress.
 Grid power quality also matters.

⛽️ CNG adoption stays strong.
 This is due to low running cost.
 Also easy refuelling.
 This slows EV growth.

Key technical insight
 EV shift is not linear.
 It needs a charging infrastructure.
 It needs battery price drops.
 It needs efficient motors and drives.
 It needs recycling systems ♻️.

Way forward
 We must push clean fleets.
 We must boost public transport.
 We must raise the local EV supply.
 We must scale charging networks 🔌.

The EV story is growing.
 But the base is still fossil-heavy.

My thoughts: 

🎯 Sodium-ion and other new battery systems will 
reduce cost and improve safety for mass EV adoption.

🎯 High-efficiency motor technologies will boost range, 
performance, and overall system efficiency.

🎯  ‘Design for recycling’ principles will enable sustainable 
material recovery and lower long-term lifecycle costs.

 This creates both risk and opportunity.

👉 What will accelerate India’s EV shift—technology, policy, or cost?

🚨 No more EV subsidies. Now the real EV test begins. Who will survive the EV shakeout?

This Year, India has confirmed no extension of EV subsidies. 
This change ends incentives for two-wheelers and three-wheelers. 
It marks a major shift in India’s EV policy.

⚡ Why This Matters

Subsidies under FAME and PM E-Drive reduced EV prices.
They helped bridge the cost gap with petrol vehicles.
Now the industry must stand on its own.

✅ Positives of Ending EV Subsidies

Firms focus more on efficiency.
Localisation increases faster.
Battery innovation improves quickly.
The market becomes more competitive.
Long-term sustainability gets stronger.
Charging infrastructure investment increases.

❌ Negatives of Ending EV Subsidies

EV prices rise sharply.
Consumer adoption may slow down.
Small start-ups may exit the market.
National EV targets may be delayed.
Two-wheeler penetration stays below global levels.
Market consolidation reduces competition.

🔍 Industry Impact Ahead
Large players like TVS, Ola, Ather, Bajaj will adapt faster.
Start-ups may face serious cash pressure.

Consumers must depend on low running costs for value.
The government is shifting focus now.

Priority will move toward infra and battery recycling.
Commercial EVs get support till 2028.

I believe the EV ecosystem must prove real strength.
The end of subsidies tests true market power.
It shows if EVs can grow independently.

Government support will pause for some time.
This pause is not a permanent exit.
Support may return if markets struggle. ⚠️

If OEMs raise prices, sales will drop.
Consumers will not accept sudden price hikes.
So companies cannot shift costs to buyers.

Firms must reduce costs inside their systems.
This needs more in-house development now.
It also needs deeper localisation across components.

A stronger supplier ecosystem is essential, too. 🔧
This phase may feel painful for many.
But it is needed for long-term success.
 
The fastest innovators will lead the market. ✨

💭 Can India achieve 30% EV penetration by 2030 without consumer subsidies, or will this slow down the transition?

🔥 A short circuit is small, but its impact is massive. The Kota EV fire reminds us that EV safety needs sharper focus.

A major fire hit a Kota EV showroom yesterday. 

More than 50 electric two-wheelers were destroyed. 

Officials said the cause was a short circuit ⚡.

⚡️ Short circuits generally happen in EV environments because of 

👉 Poor wiring quality
👉 Overloaded circuits
👉 High humidity in closed spaces
👉 Improper earthing

Short circuit → High current → Heat spikes → Nearby plastics catch fire → Fire spreads to battery shell

Incidents like this show how vulnerable EVs are to external failures, not just internal battery issues. 

It is important that EVs stay free from such risks and remain safe from fire hazards. 

Let us break down how we can reduce this risk below. 👇 

🔧 In my view, EV design and infrastructure safety can improve through the following focused measures:

🎯 Infrastructure & Storage Safety (Earlier Points):

1️⃣ Strong wiring and routine electrical audits.

2️⃣ Fire-rated storage for EVs in closed spaces.

3️⃣ Better thermal monitoring inside showrooms.

🎯 Electric Vehicle Design Safety Enhancements (New Points):

4️⃣ Advanced Battery Isolation Systems that cut power instantly during faults.

5️⃣ Cell-Level Thermal Barriers to stop heat transfer between cells.

6️⃣ High-IP Waterproofing and Dust Protection to prevent moisture-led short circuits.

7️⃣ Multi-Sensor Early Warning Systems using temperature, gas, and current sensors.

8️⃣ Fail-Safe Venting Architecture to release internal pressure safely.

⚡ Events like this remind us to innovate faster. 

🔧 Safety is a continuous process. With the right engineering focus, EVs will only get safer from here.

This will make EVs unstoppable.

❓Are we investing enough in the safety ecosystem around EVs, not just the vehicles?

⚡🤔 What if one insight from Michael Steenburg’s interview could change how we design and build electric motors? 🔧📘 Let’s explore the Transverse-Flux Architecture (TFA).

 🔍 A learning summary from the Modal Motors interview with CEO Michael Steenburg

Modal Motors is building next-gen motors using a Transverse-Flux Architecture (TFA). 

This design is very different from the Radial-Flux Motors (RFM) used in most EVs today.

Let us break down the core ideas in simple words 👇

🔧 What is Transverse-Flux Architecture?
TFA sends magnetic flux sideways, not radially.
 Flux means the magnetic field flow in a motor.
 This sideways flow allows more copper, more torque, and less winding complexity.

⚙️ Why does this matter?
Torque Density = torque produced per unit volume.
 Higher torque density gives:
 • Smaller motors 🚗
 • More cabin space
 • Lower vehicle mass
 • Better range

Modal Motors improves torque density by using:
 • Fewer parts
 • Wider copper paths
 • Better cooling

🧵 Why simplify motor assembly?
Traditional motors require dozens of precisely wound windings.
 Each winding adds a tolerance stack-up.
 Tolerance = allowed deviation in dimensions.
 Too much deviation affects the air gap between rotor and stator.
 A tight air gap improves efficiency but increases manufacturing cost.

TFA reduces winding count and parts.
 This cuts costs, time, and reliance on rare-earth magnets.

🧊 Why is cooling critical?
Magnets lose strength when hot.
 Better cooling = stable performance.
 TFA supports easier heat removal.

🌱 Why is this architecture more sustainable?
Modal Motors uses net-shape molding.
 This means near-zero scrap during production.
 Stamped laminations create 40–60% scrap.
 Less scrap = lower emissions + lower cost.

🚀 Where will this tech be used first?
• Drones
 • Off-highway vehicles
 • Low-speed EVs
 • Defense propulsion

These sectors adopt new architectures faster than mainstream automakers.

🧭 Final Takeaway
TFA is not magic.
 It is smart engineering.
 It blends simpler manufacturing, higher torque density, better cooling, and lower material waste.
 It may help bring motor manufacturing back to the U.S. 🏭

💭 Do you think simplified motor architectures will reshape global EV manufacturing in the next decade?

Two headlines. Two different stories. 
An 8.2% GDP jump is big 👍 . But a ‘C’ grade on data is worrying 👎

India needs both growth and credibility.

I believe India must strengthen its fundamentals and data systems to truly understand where we stand as a nation.
