Vidal Bharath, COO of Bramble on Powering the Net Zero Future Based on Hydrogen Fuel Cells

My guest today is Vidal Bharath, COO of Bramble. Bramble’s mission is to power the net zero future. Bramble Energy has developed a unique, patent protected, printed circuit board (PCB) fuel cell - the PCBFC that solves perhaps the greatest barriers to the adoption of fuel cells: manufacturing complexity, scale-up and crucially cost. In this episode, Vidal talks about why he joined Bramble as employee #1, how they work, their funding journey and his thoughts on hiring and culture.
