The International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) and the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) both certified Chakr Innovation, making it the only business in India to hold both of these certifications.
The ICAT, ARAI, the Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP), and the Vehicles Research Development Establishment are the four laboratories in India that are allowed to offer these certifications (VRDE).
As per Kushagra Srivastava, co-founder and CEO at Chakr Innovation, these certification laboratories have played a critical role in helping the start up grow.
"ICAT and ARAI have been indispensable in our growth, and their support has been instrumental in helping us reach our current scale. Despite their usual partnerships with larger corporations, these esteemed laboratories extended a warm welcome to our budding startup," he said.

ICAT was the first lab in India to issue the certification to Chakr Innovation in September 2022. Saurabh Dalela, the recently appointed director at ICAT, believes start-ups are the future of the country.
