Sai Shivareddy is an entrepreneur and energy storage researcher. He is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Nyobolt, a UK-based battery technology company focused on ultra-fast charging lithium-ion battery systems. Shivareddy has worked in both academic and industrial settings on energy materials and commercialization of advanced energy storage technologies.
Shivareddy began his doctoral studies in 2008 at the University of Cambridge. He completed his PhD at St JohnâÂÂs College, Cambridge, between 2008 and 2012, where his research focused on nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and high-power energy storage systems. His academic includes peer-reviewed articles on dielectric nanocomposites and hot-electron field emission in carbon nanotube arrays, among others.
After completing his PhD studies, Shivareddy co-founded CoolNergy LLC in 2012, a startup focused on printed energy storage solutions for internet-connected devices. He subsequently worked in research and development roles at both academic institutions and within industry, including embedded research positions at the University of Cambridge and engineering roles at Tata Steel Europe. He also served in leadership positions related to battery material strategy and product development with Talga GroupâÂÂs UK operations.
In 2019, Shivareddy co-founded Nyobolt, a UK-based technology company developing niobium-based anode materials and hybrid battery systems designed for rapid charge and high power density applications. Under his leadership, Nyobolt secured multiple funding rounds and attracted international media coverage. He has also represented Nyobolt in industry partnership announcement over the years.
Shivareddy has spoken publicly about the broader energy transition and infrastructure demands of AI, robotics, and electrified transport, characterizing emerging energy storage requirements as central to future industrial applications.
