“Energy intelligence is crucial for building cost-effective and sustainable industries. Our platform acts like a digital brain for the entire facility, offering immediate, actionable insights,” said Ansha Naji, Founder and CEO of Zerowatt.
He added that while global energy transition technologies may take decades to reach scale, energy efficiency remains the most accessible and impactful solution available today.
Zerowatt currently serves over 100 industrial facilities, including names like Mahindra Aerospace, Aqua Group, Peekay Steel, Venus Water Heaters, Medreich Pharma, and Infoparks Kerala.
Its solutions are used across sectors such as steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, food processing, textiles, and glass, all with the goal of accelerating industrial decarbonisation through smarter, data-driven energy use.
