Nexus Power (Felis Leo Widgets), based in Bhubaneswar, India, is a pioneering circular tech company founded by twin sisters Nishita and Nikita Baliarsingh.
The inspiration for Nexus arose from a stark local reality: seasonal agricultural crop burning chokes regional skies, while rechargeable batteries rely on heavy metals extraction. Combining Nishita’s background in finance with Nikita’s expertise in nanotechnology, the sisters set out to rethink energy storage from the ground up.
Nexus manufactures patented, bio-organic, fast-charging rechargeable battery cells by extracting bio-nanomaterials directly from unburnt crop residue. By upcycling agricultural waste into high-performance, biodegradable energy storage, Nexus accelerates the broader transition towards affordable circular energy.
For the beauty industry, this technology paves the way for circular "beauty-tech," powering personal care devices with a first of its kind rechargeable, circular battery.
