Lets create big cleantech companies in India

Lets create big cleantech companines in India. In my view capital efficient billion-dollar opportunities in India lie in these types of companies:

1. Distribution and marketing company for cleantech consumer products
2. Software products to track energy consumption in an enterprise
3. Smart grid management BPO based in India for global markets
4. Micro-utility using distributed energy generation model
5. A biomass supply chain company doing agri-waste procurement and processing

Hi Manoj,

Exactly what I am thinking about !

I am a chemical engineer from IIT Mumbai and I have spent my entire career implementing projects for various corporates. Now, I wish to be an enterpreneur and renewable energy / cleantech seems just the right sector !

I am from Mumbai but currently residing in Bangalore. My email rajulmdesai@gmail.com. Get in touch if interested and we can exchange some views.

Best regards,

Rajul M. Desai

Hi Manoj,

Very much aligned with my aspiration and focus area. I am with McKinsey's Mumbai office focusing on cleantech and climate change. Would love to explore opportunities to get involved. Would be great if you can write to me at rahul.sankhe11@gmail.com.

Regards,
Rahul

I am sorry if I sound stupid.

There is a fear that climate change will cause drastic degradation . Western countries who are the conceptors and proponents of this still spend billions of dollars in weaponising each other.

No one seems to notice the co2 emission from bombs and vehicles in Afghanistan, Iraq and other battle zones. Could there have been anything more dramatic to climate change than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet India and China are told to slow down .Western (wealthy) people have woken up to climate change like they woke up to terroirism only after 9/11 although india had been suffering for long.

You are quite right in your assessment, at least on count no 1, 4 and 5. Cleantech distribution and consumer marketing is going to be really huge. May be it would require serious global supply chain integration also.
