Brothers Return From Silicon Valley, Launch Low-Cost E-Bikes That go 35Km on One Charge #IndiaNEWS #Electric Vehicles
Growing up in a family full of engineers in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, brothers Sachin and Vishal Chopra always knew that they would dedicate their lives to product making. After all, their family was in the business of creating some of the world’s leading fabric processing technologies. Exporting them to over 70 countries, their family firm competed with the best in the world. However, their journey would take them from Ahmedabad to the United States, where they made their mark in Silicon Valley in the early noughties obtaining three US patents in the field of microprocessor design.
Following their highly successful stint in Silicon Valley, Sachin and Vishal went on to earn their respective MBAs from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which ranks among the best management schools in the world.
With their Wharton MBA degrees in hand, they went on to work for a series of global private equity firms before finally turning their attention to product making once again in 2015. Today, the brothers are co-founders of AlphaVector, a homegrown Mumbai-based startup, which earlier this year announced the launch of its first e-bicycle—Meraki by Ninety One—which they claim is “100% indigenously designed and engineered in India???.
“When an Indian thinks of riding a bicycle, we want the vision to be aspirational and premium and not that of riding a traditional black bicycle. The company’s vision is to introduce millennials and Gen Z to an active lifestyle, encouraging them to reclaim the outdoors and make cycling a part of their lifestyle,??? Sachin, CEO, tells The Better India.

Roots, Silicon Valley and Wharton
Vishal says, “We believe our roots played a great role in helping us become what we are today. We grew up watching these massive pieces of machinery churn out and process pieces of cloth which inspired us to do something big. Coming from a family of industrialists and entrepreneurs, the DNA of innovation was passed down to us. We longed to create a great product for sustainable mobility in our country. ???
After their Masters in computer engineering from Purdue University (USA) in 1999, they ventured into Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale, California. In Silicon Valley, they worked for global tech giant Sun Microsystems, where they designed microprocessors called SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture), which were used in all of Sun’s servers at the time.
“These servers were the same which powered the businesses of eBay, Amazon and most Wall Street firms in New York. This was the time when multi-core processors were becoming mainstream and the worlds first multi-core processor, a dual-core, was made by IBM.
