Battery Smart
Battery Smart is India's largest battery-swapping network for electric two- and three-wheelers, founded in 2019 by Pulkit Khurana and Siddharth Sikka and operated from New Delhi by Upgrid Solutions Private Limited and Upgrid Electrilease Private Limited. It runs an asset-light, partner-led model: local businesses — kirana stores, petrol pumps and neighbourhood shops — host swap points where a driver exchanges a depleted lithium-ion pack for a charged one in roughly two minutes and pays per swap instead of buying the battery with the vehicle, which removes the single largest cost from an electric two- or three-wheeler. The network is concentrated in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Lucknow, and the company has raised across eleven rounds including a USD 65 million Series B led by LeapFrog Investments with MUFG Bank, Panasonic, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Blume Ventures and British International Investment participating, plus a USD 15 million debt round with Mirova in April 2026. Battery Smart's software ships only as end-user Android applications — Battery Smart Driver and Battery Smart Partner — backed by a production API host at api.upgrid.in that self-identifies as the "Battery Smart API". As of this profile the company publishes no developer portal, API reference, SDK, webhook catalog or machine-readable specification of any kind.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Battery Smart the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Battery Smart scores 12.4/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Battery Smart runs a real production API — api.upgrid.in answers {"message":"Battery Smart API"} and a /health check for SQL, Redis, Kafka and Mongo, discovered only through Certificate Transparency on the Upgrid engineering domain — but it exists purely to serve the Driver and Partner Android apps: every spec path on that host returns a JSON 404, batterysmart.in has no /developers, no api./docs./developer. subdomain in DNS at all, and the company publishes no reference, SDK, webhook catalog or specification anywhere.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Battery Smart does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

How we profile Battery Smart
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Battery Smart. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Battery Smart, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
