I've spent most of my career thinking about one thing: how do you build systems that make people's lives genuinely easier? In HR and people operations, that meant processes, accountability, and getting the right things to happen without constant follow-up. Turns out, that's exactly the muscle Zevo runs on.
The idea came from watching my own neighbourhood. EVs were showing up in parking lots, extension cords were running from third-floor windows, and the operators who had installed chargers six months earlier had simply disappeared. No one was angry enough to sue anyone — they were just quietly disappointed. That bothered me enough to do something about it.
I started Zevo because the problem is solvable — not with better technology, but with better accountability. A written SLA. Real maintenance. Billing that doesn't cause arguments. The tech already existed. What was missing was someone willing to put their name to a promise and actually keep it.

I think in systems. When someone describes a problem to me, the first thing my mind does is ask: where does this break, and how do you make sure it doesn't break again? That instinct has shaped everything I've done in business growth and operations — and it's exactly what Zevo's model demands.
My role is to make sure the thing Nilesh promises in a pitch meeting actually exists when we show up to deliver. Vendor agreements that hold up, finances that don't surprise us, and an operations rhythm that works at 10 sites just as reliably as it will at 100. I'm the person who asks the question everyone else is hoping no one asks.
Outside of work, I believe in doing fewer things better — which is probably why Zevo's model is as simple as it is. One city first. One segment. One promise kept at a time. We'll earn the right to expand.
