Energy-Tech Careers Draw IIT Talent Toward Purposeful Innovation

10 Dec 2025 CW Team

This trend was strongly visible during Day-0 placements at IIT Madras and IIT (BHU) Varanasi, where energy-tech roles took centre stage. In this highly competitive environment, Kimbal recruited nine exceptional Day-0 hires from the two IITs. These young engineers will join the company’s innovation ecosystem to develop solutions that support millions of consumers and utilities worldwide, advancing energy efficiency on a global scale.

The momentum comes at a defining time for India, as the country deploys millions of smart meters and accelerates clean-energy integration. The enthusiasm shown at IIT Madras and IIT BHU reflects a generational shift — India’s brightest minds increasingly want to build for Bharat, contribute to national infrastructure and shape the country’s energy transition.

For Kimbal, this year’s Day-0 hiring journey holds particular significance. The engineers joining the organisation view energy-tech not just as a career pathway but as a mission grounded in purpose. Their curiosity, clarity of vision and problem-solving mindset will help the company create intelligent, sustainable energy systems that improve lives at scale.

The energy and conviction of young engineers underscore the role of purpose-driven organisations in empowering talent to effect meaningful change. When youth are given the platform to develop technologies that advance not only an organisation or a nation but humanity’s collective well-being, progress becomes impactful, inclusive and enduring.

Across India’s top engineering institutes, a clear shift is emerging: young engineers are increasingly motivated by responsible innovation, energy efficiency and the pursuit of sustainable, inclusive growth. Inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and India’s clean-energy ambitions, today’s students are seeking careers that combine purpose with engineering excellence. Energy technology has naturally become a preferred field — one where innovation directly supports communities, strengthens infrastructure and contributes to long-term planetary well-being.

Cement Makers Set for ~250 bps Margin Boost on Strong Realisations

Cement manufacturers are expected to record a 250–300 basis points (bps) expansion in operating margins this fiscal, supported by improved realisations driven by higher volumes, greater premiumisation and broadly stable input costs. Industry volume is projected to grow 6.5–7.5 per cent this fiscal, up from 5 per cent in the previous year. While the first half saw a moderate 5 per cent on-year rise—recovering from flat demand a year earlier—the second half is likely to strengthen with 8–9 per cent growth backed by pent-up demand and better liquidity.Pan-India cement prices are expecte..
