Kazam, an EV charging and energy-tech platform, has appointed Ram Balasubramanian as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Ram brings over 15 years of experience across financial strategy, operations, and governance, with previous roles at Siemens, KPMG, and Star TV Network.
Prior to joining Kazam, he was with Vertex Ventures, an early investor in the company, where he worked closely with portfolio startups on growth and execution.
At Kazam, Ram will oversee financial planning, performance tracking, and capital deployment across the company’s expanding portfolio, which includes 70,000+ charge points, multi-modal EV partnerships, and a pilot peer-to-peer energy exchange program.
Akshay Shekhar, CEO and Co-Founder, Kazam said, “Ram’s track record of aligning finance with business vision, combined with his deep understanding of the startup landscape, makes him the ideal addition to Kazam’s leadership team as we enter this next phase of growth.”
The move comes as the company continues to scale operations, drive revenue growth, and expand into new business verticals. Last month, Kazam raised $6.2 million in a Series B funding round from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and existing investors Vertex Ventures SEA & India and Avaana Capital Advisors.
