ENA enters into an exclusive partnership with Jolta Battery, potentially worth $35m.

Pakistani start-up Energy and Automation (ENA), a company of Jaffer Business Systems (JBS) recently joined forces with Jolta Battery Private Limited, a sister company of Jolta Electric – Pakistan’s First EV company, to provide solutions to the telecom & banking sector.

An exclusive agreement to this effect took place between the two companies with a potential of $35 million in the most advanced Graphene-based Supercaps Energy Storage Solutions with an innovative power backup storage technology called “ENARGEZE SUPERPOWER” which is powered by Zoxcell.

This will be great for the local power and energy storage industry as Pakistan has around 50,000 telecom towers across the country. Also a plus for the banking sector which is estimated to have more than 30,000 bank branches all over Pakistan.

In 2021, the global demand for energy was projected to increase to 2.5 to four terawatt-hours annually in the next eight years. In Pakistan, however, the energy storage market and capacity is quite basic and fragmented.

The country is beset by frequent power outages, unreliable transmission infrastructure, short life, and low-efficiency alternatives. So this [Enargeze Superpower] will be a real game-changer.

Speaking at the event, ENA’s Chief Executive Amir Salman explained that; “the Super-capacitor is 25 times better than Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) dry batteries. this new technology is safe to use and minimizes the use of generators. In the bigger picture, this will contribute to a greener Pakistan by reducing carbon footprint and fuel consumption”. 

This initiative of ENA will set a benchmark in the industry and will emerge as a new trendsetter in the country by creating a pool of employment opportunities and facilitating huge growth.

Rehan Aslam, the Co-Founder & COO of Jolta Batteries shared his views by declared this as historic and as one of the biggest partnerships in the Energy Storage Sector of Pakistan and will revolutionize the private sector of Pakistan.

Rehan Aslam said; “Jolta Battery is bringing the most advanced technology in Pakistan, which will be significantly helpful to the national exchequer by reducing the import bill of up to $1 billion in three to four years”.

He added that; “by localization of super-capacitors, technology would increase jobs in Pakistan and also add value to green and clean energy in Pakistan”.

This event was held in the presence of Jolta Group Chairman Muhammad Azim, Jolta Electric CEO Usman Sheikh, Jolta Battery Co-Founder & COO Rehan Aslam, JBS CEO Veqar-ul-Islam, ENA’s Chief Executive Amir Salman, and Director Faisal Murad.

World renowned marketing book accolades Jaffer Business Systems as a purpose driven dynamic tech corporation.

Kotler Impact has recently launched its book ‘Essentials of Modern Marketing’ in Pakistan, written by the marketing guru himself Mr. Philip Kotler. It is for the first time that an international book has incorporated success stories of Pakistani organizations as case studies. Jaffer Business Systems is one of the 16 distinguished companies from Pakistan that are mentioned in this book.

Students in Pakistan and other developing countries are used to studying the case studies/success stories of foreign companies as part of their textbooks, and they would hardly relate with their products and services. Now, they will study about the companies, the products, or services of which they either avail or see around them. This is a breakthrough for Jaffer Business Systems being the only tech company covered in Kotler’s Book – bridging the gap between the academia and corporate sectors.

“I am delighted that JBS was selected as one of the case studies, along with many other top companies from Pakistan. It is a great milestone for our country to have a book on local case studies as we badly lack local content for our students and readers in general. The case studies on JBS and other companies will now add more details from the local perspective for the students in Pakistan, which was an essential missing element in our business books all these years. I am sure it will help prepare them better for professional life. JBS has been making great strides in recent times with expansion in its existing businesses, we will be investing in creating more businesses like Hysab Kytab, JBS Incorporated (in USA), and via the acquisition of start-ups like Blutech Consulting and ENA.  We will continue to remain focused on achieving both vertical and horizontal growth in terms of portfolio of products, customers, and territories”, said Syed-ul-Veqar Islam.

Expressing his views on the occasion, Mr. Sheikh Tariq, (Regional Sales Head of Jaffer Business Systems) said; “it’s a moment of great privilege for the entire Jaffar Business Systems after getting recognized in one of the top-tier marketing books. Our journey towards technological advancement, research and maintaining excellence in client services will keep growing magnanimously in years ahead.”

He further added; “this recognition will surely play a great role in bringing Pakistan’s IT sector on the face of world map in the surroundings where techie giants are already on the leading position.”
