Priyans Murarka feels passionate about a number of subjects, whether it is air quality—an issue tackled by his company, ActiveBuildings; or electric vehicles (EVs) and India’s growing interest in them. He is the face behind an active account on X which connects EV owners and enthusiasts, and tracks the latest developments. Memes, GIFs, pie charts and maps—the co-founder uses them all to simplify the conversation around these new-age cars.

As he scrolls through his timeline, Murarka sometimes wades into murky territory—inaccurate arguments about pollution in Mumbai vs Delhi, and fake news about EVs. As a frustrated subject matter expert, he wished he could issue corrections, so others on X would walk away with a more accurate understanding of things. And now he can—through the platform’s Community Notes (CN) feature.
