India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) is introducing initiatives which can further boost women’s contribution to India’s Net Zero Goal.
IESA has received recommendations from over 100 women leaders in the energy storage and clean sector for voicing among stakeholders. The organisation will review and submit these recommendations to the government for favourable policies and enhanced women's workforce participation.
IESA is actively working to increase women's involvement in the sector through initiatives like "Women in Energy" (WE), which aims to connect, educate, and inspire women in the clean energy and diversity in India’s clean energy sector.
Netra Walawalkar, Vice President of Customized Energy Solutions, India said, “Women leaders are at the forefront of India’s clean energy shift, driving innovation and advocating for policies that shape a greener future. We need to focus on issues such as gender disparity, empowering women for technical & leadership roles, and eliminating gender bias for certain opportunities in the clean energy space, as it is crucial for paving the way towards a sustainable future. These recommendations from women leaders are an eye opener and will surely bring changes in the upcoming years, taking India’s clean tech and renewable energy industry to newer heights.”
