Background

About Vish Iyer

With over two decades of experience in technology manufacturing, private equity, and the industrial and renewable energy sectors, I have consistently driven growth and innovation. As the Global Chief Commercial Officer and a founding executive team member at Jakson Green (Jakson Group), I led initiatives that secured 1.19GWp of renewable IPP assets (in partnership with Macquarie) and over ₹4,700Cr (US$600Mn ~ 3.09GW+182MWh BESS) in global EPC orders through successful joint ventures with Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (NSE: RVNL) and Al-Ghanim International Kuwait. I also set new industry benchmarks in Power-to-X projects and Green Hydrogen Electrolyser manufacturing (Jakson Green Infinity). Previously, I founded Minnitz, a boutique advisory firm in Singapore, providing strategic guidance on capital raises, mergers and acquisitions, and project development across solar, wind, energy storage, and green hydrogen sectors. My efforts facilitated successful ventures and fostered innovation in clean energy (viz. AI led asset management, Edtech led upskilling) and electric mobility (EV led logistics) startups. At Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) Group, I drove SP Infrastructure Capital's entry into the renewable IPP business and established Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited as India's leading solar EPC provider delivering nearly 2GW of solar PV power projects (669MW including land, permits and evacuation; 200MW C&I on captive capex basis). I also pioneered the group's Hybrid & Energy Storage business (Concept to INR 227 Crores topline in 2 years) and EV charging infrastructure joint venture with global partners such as EnelX. Early in my career, I held key roles at Siemens, L&T Switchgear, and L&T Construction, delivering exceptional results both on the factory floor and on-site with customers in the Middle East (U.A.E, Oman, KSA and Qatar). Further, my experience with private equity at Mahindra Partners shaped my ability to work with investors later in my career. Recognized as a thought leader in climate change, I frequently speak on platforms like BNEF, Economic Times, and Bloomberg TV. I was honored as a global rising star at the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards in 2018 and recently ranked among the Top 3 Global Thought Leaders in Climate Change & Renewable Energy by Thinkers360 and the Carbon Negative Alliance.
