India and Fluence Energy exemplify the strength of creativity and sustainability.
“Dad, the batteries were dead… The words were spoken with a mixture of annoyance and resignation. It seemed like a familiar refrain in every household, the ever-running battle against the inevitable energy drain from the favorite gadgets. The disappointment that accompanied the death of the batteries in our toys or transistor radios was palpable. We relied on those trusty "Eveready" cells to power our entertainment, but inevitably, they would let us down.
And then there were the car batteries. Oh, the frustration that surged when they decided to cease working! It was as if they had chosen the most unfortunate moment to give up. In those moments, the burden of our dependence on technology and convenience became acutely clear. Dad's expression mirrored disappointment, though a forgettable phrase slipped from his lips.
Not to mention the misfortune when the light bulb began to flicker, announcing the fluctuations in volatility, until the electrical system left us in unwarranted darkness. What a horror...
Nonetheless, the mammoth journey of the battery throughout history is admirable. It was in 1800 when the first proper battery was invented by the Italian physicist, Alessandro Volta. His creation comprised of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) discs piled up and divided by a cloth soaked in saline water. Once wires were connected to both ends of the battery, it resulted in a consistent and stable flow of current.
Volta’s invention was revolutionary because it introduced a reliable and unwavering source of energy. The battery has come to signify progress and ushered in a new era of possibilities. However, it is important to acknowledge that Volta was not its originator. Precedents of batteries can be traced back to 250 BC and had Mesopotamian roots.
Nevertheless, over the centuries, there have been tremendous developments in the field of electric systems. It has long been a challenge for electrical power systems to maintain stability in both voltage and frequency. This has presented a constant dilemma. However, a solution to this problem is within reach and it remains to be seen. Additionally, a resolution to this issue was discovered as far back as 250 BC, albeit with varying levels of technology.
In 2018, the legendary AES from the United States and the renowned Siemens from Germany, both influential players in the global electricity industry, united to establish Fluence Energy.

To the development of a more eco-friendly and robust nation, India has emerged as a true leader. Throughout the world, India's clever technology development and outstanding professionals in various fields have made their mark in every corner of the earth, even reaching as far as the South Pole of the moon. It is truly remarkable to witness the transformation that India has undergone in recent years.
One cannot ignore the significant strides that India has made in its commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation. With a rapidly growing population and increasing development, the country has recognized the importance of balancing progress with the need to protect our planet. Through various initiatives and policies, India's responsible leadership has implemented measures to reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy sources, and adopt eco-friendly practices in industries ranging from agriculture to manufacturing. This focus on sustainability has not only set an example for other nations but has also had a tangible impact on global efforts to combat climate change.
"Prime Minister Modi's announcement of five critical goals for India in the next 25 years reflects his vision and determination to lead the country towards becoming a developed nation by 2047. These ambitious goals, if achieved, will undoubtedly transform India's social, economic, and technological landscape.
Firstly, the goal of ensuring clean water and sanitation for all is a crucial step towards improving public health and hygiene. Access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities is not only a fundamental human right, but also a necessity for a nation's overall well-being and development. The government aims to prioritize this goal and improve the overall quality of life for its citizens.
Additionally, a key objective set by PM Modi is to strengthen infrastructure and ensure integrated logistical networks throughout the country. Lastly, PM Modi's objective to promote sustainable development and leverage renewable energy sources demonstrates India's dedication to counteracting climate change. By shifting to clean energy, India endeavors to diminish its carbon footprint and tackle the urgent issue of environmental deterioration. This objective conforms to India's promise to the worldwide community to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and guarantee a stable, sustainable future."
