From Waste to Wonder: How Kishor Krishnamoorthy Is Redefining the Future of Technology with Blakenergi and Stravinci

Innovation often begins with a question — “What if?”
For Kishor Krishnamoorthy, Founder & CEO of Blakenergi Batteries Pvt. Ltd. and Stravinci Automobil Pvt. Ltd., the question was: What if waste could power the world?

Kishor’s vision redefines sustainability by proving that waste is not an end — it’s a beginning. His companies are pioneering technologies that could change how we view recycling, energy, and computing itself.

Reinventing Waste

Blakenergi Batteries is the world’s first company to create materials from waste plastics and use it to build solid-state material batteries — a safer, denser, and more sustainable alternative to traditional lithium batteries.

Its sister venture, Stravinci Automobil, takes this one step further by creating waste-derived semiconductor wafers and AI chips that consume 90% less electricity and deliver up to 1000× higher computational power. These chips even feature tunable material bandgaps, unlocking applications across AI, quantum computing, and advanced electronics.

Together, these companies are rewriting the rules of both sustainability and performance — showing that innovation doesn’t have to come at the planet’s cost.

The Maker Behind the Mission

Kishor’s story began not in a lab, but in a school robotics club.
At 12, he built his first robots. By 15, he was competing — and winning — at innovation expos across Kerala, including IITs and NITs. His mentors at Srishti Robotics — Jithin Chelora, Shine Sridhar, and Vipin Mathew — helped shape his technical foundation and confidence.

Despite his brilliance in science and technology, Kishor struggled in conventional academics. Teachers once told him he would “never achieve anything.” Instead of breaking him, those words became fuel. “Marks don’t define intelligence — innovation does,” he says.

After dropping out of college, he chose a path of creation. Guided by mentors like Athil Krishna of iHub Robotics, supported by his co-founder and childhood friend Varun Kannan and chief advisor K.V Jose, Kishor turned his childhood curiosity into cutting-edge technology companies.

A New Kind of Recycling

Kishor challenges the very idea of recycling. “Recycling is a temporary fix,” he says. “It reshapes waste but doesn’t reinvent it.”
His companies practice recreation — transforming waste into new, high-performance materials that outperform traditional alternatives.

For example:

• World’s first graphene made from waste plastics
  
  
• World’s first solid-state graphene battery from recycled sources
  
  
• World’s first waste-based semiconductor wafers for AI and computing
  
  

In his words, “Nvidia, Tesla, Elon — I’m not inspired by them. I’m building to surpass them. The future will remember this name — Kishor.”

What Lies Ahead

Over the next decade, Kishor envisions Blakenergi Batteries powering electric vehicles, drones, and aviation with clean, efficient energy — while Stravinci Automobil fuels the next generation of AI and computing infrastructure.

His dream is clear: to make India the epicenter of deep-tech innovation from waste — turning the world’s biggest problem into its most valuable resource.

His advice to young innovators is simple yet powerful:
“Don’t wait for approval. Just start. Every failure shapes you into someone unstoppable.”

Kishor Krishnamoorthy is not just building technology — he’s building a movement that proves sustainability and innovation can co-exist, beautifully.
