First-principles innovation
Reconsider the core architecture rather than optimise around a constrained material dependency.
About Vimag Labs
Building a global motion-technology company from Bengaluru
Vimag Labs is a deep-tech company inventing and engineering software-defined motor systems that eliminate dependency on rare-earth permanent magnets without sacrificing performance.
Our purpose
Replace material constraints with engineering intelligence
Electric motors sit at the centre of mobility, automation, industry, robotics and energy systems. Yet many high-performance platforms depend on permanent magnets whose supply, cost and processing are concentrated geographically.
Vimag Labs takes a different path. The Virtual Magnet Synchronous Motor uses controlled electromagnetic fields, power electronics and proprietary algorithms to deliver a programmable motor platform without permanent magnets.
