The leaders whose vision shapes how we build.

India's clean-energy transition isn't an accident. It's the work of people who chose the long view — building infrastructure, institutions, and industries that outlast political cycles. These are the four whose example we measure ourselves against.

Architect of India's renewable mandate

Prime Minister of India

Set the 500 GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 and made renewables a national-security priority instead of an environmental footnote. The PM-KUSUM, PLI for solar PV, and Green Hydrogen Mission policies created the demand signal that the entire industry now runs on.

  • Launched the International Solar Alliance now spanning 120+ member countries
  • Anchored Panchamrit pledge of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030 at COP26
  • Catalysed ~₹2.4 lakh crore of solar PLI and Green Hydrogen Mission outlay
  • Made India the third-largest renewable power producer globally

Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action.

Proving renewables can run at petroleum scale

Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries

Committed Reliance to ₹75,000 crore of investment across four giga-factories at Jamnagar — solar PV, batteries, electrolysers, fuel cells — colocated with the world's largest refinery. The bet: vertical integration and refinery-grade execution can compress green-hydrogen costs faster than anyone in the West.

  • Founded Reliance New Energy with a 5,000 acre giga-complex at Jamnagar
  • Acquired REC Solar, Faradion (sodium-ion), Lithium Werks and Sterling & Wilson Solar
  • Targeting USD 1/kg green hydrogen by 2030 — half of today's grey-hydrogen price
  • Built Jio: brought 4G data to 450M+ Indians at the world's lowest tariffs

We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality.

Building 45 GW of renewables in a decade

Chairman, Adani Group

Adani Green crossed 10.9 GW operational capacity by 2024 and is on track for 45 GW by 2030 — making it among the largest renewable IPPs in the world. The Khavda hybrid park in Kutch, when complete, will be a 30 GW single-site complex five times the size of Paris.

  • Owns & operates 7 ports including Mundra — India's largest commercial port
  • Building Khavda RE Park: 30 GW solar+wind on 538 km² in Gujarat
  • Adani Total Gas, Adani Transmission, ATGL — full energy stack vertically owned
  • Largest private transmission network in India: 19,800+ ckt-km

If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together.

Ethics · Long view

Industrial leadership rooted in trusteeship

Chairman Emeritus, Tata Sons

Ran the Tata Group for 21 years on the conviction that profit without principle is corrosive. Tata Power Renewable Energy is now ~5+ GW of operational green capacity. The Tata Group ownership structure — 66% held by philanthropic trusts — is a model for what stakeholder capitalism can actually look like.

  • Acquired Tetley, Corus and Jaguar Land Rover; turned Tata into a global brand
  • Tata Power Renewable Energy: 5+ GW operational, 6+ GW under development
  • Launched Tata Nano — proved sub-₹1L cars were technically possible
  • 66% of Tata Sons owned by Tata Trusts — billions deployed annually for public good

I don't believe in taking right decisions. I take decisions and then make them right.

Principles

What we carry forward.

Four ideas these leaders share — and four ideas we try to embed in every project we touch.

Vision over comfort

Pick the harder, longer goal. Then build the institutions to actually reach it.

Compounding outcomes

Small disciplined gains, repeated for decades, beat heroic single bets every time.

Sustainable scale

The transition has to work for grids, balance sheets, communities and watersheds.

Nation building

Engineering as public infrastructure, not as IPO narrative. Every project is a brick.
