Pravaig

Pravaig is an Indian deep-tech mobility company based in Bengaluru. It was founded in 2011 in Jaipur, India. Over the years, the company has developed numerous prototypes, including a Dakar Rally-style vehicle built to FIA Group T1 regulations. In 2019, Pravaig moved to Bengaluru and established a facility at the KIADB Hi-Tech Defence and Aerospace Park.

After releasing the Extinction MK-1 and Extinction MK-II prototypes, Pravaig unveiled the DEFY and the VEER in New Delhi in November 2022. The DEFY is an SUV with a range of 500km, powered by dual motors that generate more than 600 Nm of torque. The interiors of the DEFY are lined with sustainable fabrics made from recycled materials, such as PET, and feature vegan leather upholstery. The VEER, an SUV designed for defense forces, includes features such as a thermal imaging sensor, airlift hooks, a winch, and a tow hitch.

Pravaig provides energy storage solutions (ESS) and Field Pack batteries to clients, including the French renewable energy company Eren Groupe, solar farms in Greece, and combat forces in Europe. Speculation about a potential collaboration with Renault arose after an article featured a Renault Kiger vehicle with a red number plate at Pravaig’s headquarters, suggesting that the company might be working with Renault on its electrification efforts.

At the G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance Summit in New Delhi in July 2023, Pravaig signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Saudi India Venture Studio to manufacture electric vehicles in Saudi Arabia. The company has also expanded into lifestyle products, launching AI-designed cufflinks inspired by Indian heritage, such as those commemorating the Kedarnath Mandir and Ram Mandir.

Pravaig has recruited non-resident Indians and experienced professionals from companies such as Airbus, Intel, and Tesla. In May 2024, following Tesla's rescinding of offers extended to interns, Pravaig offered to interview these interns to explore opportunities for them within the company.
