Powering India’s Renewable Future: Praveen Kakulte, Founder & CEO of The POWERCON Group

In this insightful episode of The Brand Called You (TBCY) podcast, host Ashutosh Garg sits down with Praveen Kakulte, Founder & CEO of The POWERCON Group, to explore how India’s renewable energy future depends not just on asset creation—but on asset performance, longevity, and engineering excellence. Praveen shares his journey as a first-generation entrepreneur who built a 100% bootstrapped renewable energy company in a highly capital-intensive industry. He explains why intellectual capital matters more than financial capital, and how transparency, data, and technology can unlock long-term value in wind and solar assets. The conversation dives deep into the Energy Studio, Asia’s first centralized renewable energy diagnostics platform, the role of the Center for Engineering Excellence in tackling technology obsolescence, and how predictive analytics, AI, digital twins, and storage solutions are shaping the next wave of renewable transformation.
