SARA Controls & Automation partners with OEMs, Tier 1 & 2 companies, universities and autonomous institutions to build dedicated Electric Vehicle Centers of Excellence — combining industry-grade lab infrastructure, curriculum and hands-on training under one roof.
Raghavendran B is a seasoned E-Mobility and Power Electronics specialist who has delivered high-impact corporate training for automotive OEMs including Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra, and Tier-1 suppliers such as Continental, UNO Minda, Vitesco Technologies and Motherson Sumi. He has also trained academic institutions including Manipal Institute (MAHE), Sikkim Manipal University, Warana University, SRM University and Reva University. He holds an M.Tech in Electric Drives & Embedded Control and is a Technical Advisor at Sysmod Enterprise, supporting corporates with System Engineering and SysML-based methodologies. He is also the author of books and technical papers on System Engineering, Model-Based Design and EV Technology, and contributes to the Mobility Engineer 2030 magazine. As Director – Technical at SARA, he personally leads the EV vertical — translating real industry practice into lab-ready, curriculum-mapped learning experiences for OEMs, Tier 1 & 2 companies, universities and autonomous institutions.
