17 Jul
Summary
- Renewable energy is now the mainstream, not an alternative.
- Innovation requires effective implementation and supportive policies.
- India aims for decentralized energy and circular economy principles.
Renewable energy has transitioned from an alternative to the mainstream, as highlighted at the Times Internet Ecopreneur Awards 2026. Policymakers, industry leaders, and experts convened to discuss the future of green businesses.
Ajay Mathur emphasized that innovation must be coupled with effective deployment and policy. He noted India's dual challenge of decarbonizing existing infrastructure while fostering green growth with renewable-friendly new developments.
Mathur outlined three priorities for India's green transition: accelerating clean energy with decentralized systems like rooftop solar, advancing the circular economy by designing products for reuse and recycling, and catalyzing green finance by supporting early-stage environmental solutions.
He stressed that sustainability offers economic opportunities, and entrepreneurs are redefining environmental challenges. Mathur called for collaboration among policymakers, corporate leaders, and innovators to accelerate India's sustainability journey towards a cleaner planet.
