Technology in renewable energy has already led to many innovations in business models, products, and solutions.Collection: Technology
We always want more. Whether it is better clothes, a bigger house, faster cars, or the latest gadgets, satisfaction in these days of consumerism is difficult to find.Collection: Car
Replacing traditional sources of energy completely with renewable energy is going to be a challenging task. However, by adding renewable energy to the grid and gradually increasing its contribution, we can realistically expect a future that is powered completely by green energy.
By using our renewable resources, energy can be generated in a carbon-responsible, cost-effective manner that also creates jobs and mitigates climate change, providing a workable and affordable solution that will keep our planet healthy.
Most times, Mother Earth's resources are used up without the realisation that these thoughtless actions might just be the root cause for the hardships future generations may face. It is everyone's responsibility to hand over a green, clean, and healthy environment to them.
Yes, green business is good business. But it's not just about making money. It's about being responsible.
Coal, oil and natural gas have lit homes and powered machinery for centuries, driving civilization forward. But as human development accelerated, the unsustainability of such energy became apparent.
There can be no debate that we possess a collective moral responsibility to leave a better world for our children rather than a devastated planet stripped of its resources.
I have written before about why climate change has to be halted. In retirement, I want to look my grandchildren in the eye and tell them about the small role the business and I played in tackling the world's greatest challenge.
Profit at any cost is one extreme of the spectrum. On the other extreme is unselfish submission for the social good or, more accurately, charity. Somewhere in the middle is peaceful, and much required, coexistence.
It is through technological innovation and the pursuit of sustainable social, economic, and ecological development that we can chart the country's path to progress and power a greener tomorrow.
Driven by the vision to power a greener tomorrow, Suzlon has leveraged its focus on technology to accelerate action against climate change.
By focusing on R&D, companies in the renewable sector can move beyond the technological limitations of today.
I have always been proud that the Indian wind sector seemed unfazed by the politics around the globe.
The field of wind energy has immeasurable scope for innovation, translating to real world applications and tremendous economic opportunity.
I had a very clear vision. If Indians start consuming power like the Americans, the world will run out of resources. Either you stop India from developing, or you find some alternate solution.
We know the cyclones will come because we are in the wind sector. It cannot be consistent high wind; sometimes, it can be low wind. We are designing our turbines assuming that one day even a cyclone will come.
The world is at a big risk from climate change. We have to come up with solutions, to bring in a sustainable economy.
If your home market is strong, you can be a strong global player because you have scale and can bring down the cost of production and remain competitive globally. When we started, our home market wasn't strong, so we had to do more business globally.
I've always focused on technology and growth and don't have the core competency to do liability management - I'm a mechanical engineer.
Wind energy can and will play one of the most important roles in saving the world of tomorrow, today.

Asia is the market and the location where production is inexpensive. The technological expertise and specialist knowledge comes from the industrialized world.Collection: World
When German companies take over firms in India, it is seen as normal. When an Indian buys one or two firms in Germany, that is something special.Collection: Two
It is fundamentally crazy to build wind farms out at sea. But it works!Collection: Crazy
One has to understand China correctly. Our management there consists of native Chinese, we produce locally and our suppliers also come from China. In this way, we too can also enjoy the cost advantages.Collection: Chinese
Chinese companies may well be competitive on their domestic market, but it will be another 6 to 8 years before they become serious competitors internationally. We should not be afraid of China, but should learn from them instead.Collection: Years
If a German company takes over 51 percent of an Indian one, it is given far-reaching controlling rights. But if an Indian company owns the majority of a German company, it is granted only very limited influence. That is unfair.Collection: Rights
