As the global energy landscape shifts towards electrification and renewable integration, The Battery Show India continues to serve as a crucial platform for innovation, collaboration, and the showcasing of breakthrough technologies in energy storage and electric mobility. Among the standout participants this year is Aarkay Associate, a company redefining the standards for battery adhesives and thermal management materials in India’s fast-growing clean energy ecosystem.
Founded in 2015 under the brand name Uzhi, Aarkay Associate has steadily evolved under the leadership of Vishwas Sharma, Founder and Managing Partner. With a strong background in business administration and over two decades of experience in the lighting and materials industry, Vishwas Sharma has guided the company from its early trading days into a trusted, technology-driven manufacturing brand.
Aarkay began its journey by supplying thermal interface materials for the LED lighting industry, serving leading OEMs such as Signify (Philips), Surya Roshni, Havells, Crompton Greaves, and Orient. Recognizing the growing potential in renewable technologies, Vishwas strategically steered Aarkay toward the solar sector in 2021, introducing silicone sealants and potting compounds, essential materials that enhance durability and reliability in solar systems.
The company’s technological evolution took a significant leap in 2024 when they collaborated with Ningbo Julie Materials of China, positioning Aarkay as the first Indian company with mature technology for a complete range of thermal interface materials. Today, their product portfolio supports diverse applications across batteries, onboard chargers, and energy storage systems, making them a vital player in the emerging EV and clean energy ecosystem.
At The Battery Show India, Aarkay Associate is set to showcase its comprehensive range of solutions designed for evolving battery applications. These include thermal potting compounds, thermal gels, structural adhesives, and silicone sealants. For battery manufacturers, their Silicone Potting Compounds and thermal pads address critical thermal interface requirements, while their silicone sealants provide robust IP protection. Onboard charger applications benefit from high thermal conductive silicone coatings, and the BMS Pottings and Gels is served with advanced thermal pads. For the rapidly growing BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) sector, Aarkay is supplying PU-based structural adhesives and high-performance thermal gels,, demonstrating their commitment to supporting next-generation storage technologies.
Reflecting on India’s progress in the battery and EV landscape, Vishwas Sharma brings an insightful and optimistic perspective. “People often say we’re far behind China, but that’s not true,” he explains. “We started our journey a little late, but that gives us the advantage of learning from the challenges Chinese manufacturers faced. Our domestic market is strong, our policies are pro-EV, and our nation is young and ambitious. That’s what sets India apart.” This forward-thinking approach encapsulates both Aarkay Associate’s ethos and India’s broader industrial momentum. Under Vishwas Sharma’s guidance, the company is empowering India’s transition toward sustainable energy, bridging technology gaps, and helping shape a future where Indian innovation stands confidently alongside global leaders.
