Akshay Singhal and Kartik Hajela are the cofounders of Log 9 Materials, a nanotechnology startup based in Bengaluru, India. Log 9 focuses on commercialization of graphene, a material which is one million times thinner than paper and 200 times stronger than steel.

The duo uses the material to develop a metal-air battery that costs nearly half as much as the lithium-ion battery used in electric cars. Last year, Log 9 won the Most Innovative Technology Company of 2018 from the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
