Rajiv Gupta’s Experience

CEO

Solwin Energy (P) Ltd

(Renewables & Environment industry)

April 2007 — Present (2 years 4 months)

Passion for challenges has always seen me scripting my own destiny--sometimes at the risk of moving into unchartered territory! That spirit again prompted me to switch over from my ongoing and highly satisfying career phase in telecom & mobile internet technology sector. The tremendous growth prospects in energy sector --particularly in a power starved country like India --made the decison taking process easy and quick.
Currently our area of activity is focused on renewable energy sector --Solar, Wind,Biomass, Hybrid, Small Hydro power projects...; So much is happening on these fronts. Travelling around the globe meeting new and prospective business associates, I am realizing that the lessons learnt during my last two decaeds in telecom and technology sector hold good even in my new environment.
So here I am --so full of new dreams ...and set to re-write the rules of the game!!
