  • Summary

  • In the season’s nine preceding episodes, some of India’s brightest energy entrepreneurs told the stories of how they are trailblazing a narrow path from research lab to market. We learned what it is taking to successfully disrupt different parts of the energy system, and what key factors are helping or hindering energy transitions in India. In this season finale, recorded in July 2022, we reflect on five key lessons from the interviews with founders in the company of three influential thinkers with deep relevant experience. Padmaja Ruparel (co-founder of founding partner of India Angel Network and founding partner at IAN Fund), Mihir Sharma (Senior Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi and also a Bloomberg Opinion columnist) and Akshat Rathi (Senior Reporter for Climate at Bloomberg News and author of the weekly Net Zero newsletter. We are also joined by Professor Ajay Sood, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India and Chairperson of the Prime Minister’s Science, Technology & Innovation Advisory Council for a view from the government on clean energy innovation in India. One of the main objectives of the IEA is to distil insights about the world around us that enable governments to make better decisions on matters of energy security, access and clean energy transitions. Innovation Frontlines has sought to bring to the surface new insights that can help accelerate clean energy innovation in India. We therefore hope that the interviews provide a useful resource for anyone interested in clean energy innovation, technology, policy and entrepreneurship. We’d love to have listeners’ feedback and reviews as we consider the regions and topics the IEA could cover next. You’ll find us on Twitter at @siddharth3 and @sijbennett or by email at info@iea.org.
