Our story

From a university labto a pilot plant.

Cellark Powertech Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 2018 to take a decade of porous-silicon research at IIT Bhubaneswar out of the laboratory and into real-world lithium-ion cells.

Today, our multidisciplinary team combines materials science, battery engineering and industrial production experience to scale PoroSil™ — our silicon–carbon anode material — from pilot-scale sampling towards commercial production, made in India for the world’s cell makers.

The beginning

Research at IIT Bhubaneswar

A decade of clean-energy materials research lays the scientific foundation for porous silicon anodes.

2018

Cellark Powertech founded

The company is formed to commercialise silicon–carbon anode technology for lithium-ion batteries.

2022

PoroSil™ trademark registered

PoroSil™ is registered with the Trade Marks Registry, Government of India (TM No. 5461095, Class 1).

Intellectual property

5 patents in the portfolio

Our innovation portfolio grows to five patents — two granted and three applications filed.

Scale-up

Si anode pilot plant in Odisha

Our Li-ion battery Si anode production pilot plant begins producing PoroSil™ material in-house.

Today

Pilot-scale sampling

Samples and joint-development programmes are open for cell manufacturers, battery developers and strategic partners.

Years of combined experience across clean energy, advanced materials and industrial R&D — spanning powder synthesis, battery electrode manufacturing and industrial process development. This technical depth, paired with knowledge of India’s clean-energy market, positions us to scale silicon–carbon anodes from lab to commercial production.

What drives us

The principlesbehind our work.

Four values guide how we research, build and partner — from the lab bench to the production floor.

01

Science-first

Every product decision is grounded in rigorous materials research and real test data.

02

Made in India

Building a domestic supply chain for critical battery materials — for India and the world.

03

Built to scale

Processes designed from day one for industrial manufacturing, not just the laboratory.

04

Partnership

We co-develop with cell makers, institutions and industry to get materials into real cells.

Where we work

Rooted in Odisha’sresearch ecosystem.

Our registered office sits inside the Research & Entrepreneurship Park at IIT Bhubaneswar, close to the labs where our technology was born — with pilot production operations in Odisha.
