INTELLIGENCE CHALLENGE
Powering the Future of E-Mobility with Indigenous Atmanirbhar Compute
Powered by CDAC
Driving Innovation in the Indian EV Ecosystem
India's rapid transition towards electric mobility requires robust battery safety and reliability. The EV Battery Intelligence Challenge empowers you to build the future of sustainable transport.
The Platform
VSDSquadron ULTRA + THEJAS32 (C-DAC VEGA)
VSDSquadron Ultra is a Made-in-India RISC‑V development board, designed and built domestically by VLSI System Design (VSD) and powered by C-DAC’s indigenous VEGA/Thejas32 processor, proudly showcasing India’s own semiconductor innovation for the next generation of electronics and IoT developers.
- Real-time sensor interfacing
- Deterministic control
- Secure firmware execution
- Cloud dashboards integration
