Why : 1000+ Cities with renewable target not able to achieve their goal due to limitations of land for Solar Installation on urban locations 

How: Invented proprietary solar product which we plant like a tree which reduces ground space from solar by 98% which also allows us to install solar at uncertain locations as well like median and side strips of roads, Gardens and others. (18+ Design IPRs - 7 already granted by Patent office, Government of India)

What: We happen to design industry leading Solutions Like Solar Tree, Floating Solar, Portable Solar Powered EV Charging and others

Bold vision for Imagine Powertree in 2025 

In 2025, our boldest vision is to position Imagine Powertree as the global leader in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Urban Photovoltaics (UPV), with a special focus on Solar Trees, Facades, and Gazebos and Solar Tiles with a vision to bring Sun4Everyone a reality.

These solutions aim to make solar energy accessible to urban spaces and high-rise buildings without rooftop access.

We plan to achieve this through design innovation, scaling partnerships across Africa and North America, and executing high-impact projects with governments and corporates.

Seizing the Opportunity

The rising demand for urban solar solutions excites me most, especially for products like Solar Trees that combine aesthetics with functionality and Solar Facades that make buildings energy-efficient.

We are leveraging this by expanding solar tree installations in public spaces and partnering with real estate developers to integrate solar facades, tile and cladding into building designs, setting new benchmarks in the industry.

Evolving as a Founder

I look forward to scaling our vision while building a strong leadership team and fostering innovation. 

Personally, I’m focused on achieving better health and mindfulness, mentoring other entrepreneurs, and ensuring Imagine Powertree becomes a model for sustainability-driven growth.
 Yesterday marked one of my first public appearances as a Co-Founder of AirX Innovations at the eChai Ventures event hosted at GUSEC (Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council).

Sharing my journey as an entrepreneur and introducing AirX Innovations to the audience was an exhilarating experience. We are passionately committed to delivering clean air solutions, and it was incredible to see the spark in the eyes of the audience as we unveiled a pre-trailer of our product at end of the event. Their positive feedback and enthusiasm reaffirmed our mission to disrupt the market in both the D2C and B2B segments.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we gear up to launch our website soon! In the meantime, follow our journey and connect with us on social media:

Together, let’s breathe clean air and innovate for a sustainable future! 
Grateful for the opportunity to participate in the three-day event hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering London, for the LIF fellows at Taj West End at Bangalore.

The program, featuring training, networking, and pitching sessions, was truly enriching and insightful. It was a pleasure connecting with fellow entrepreneurs and exchanging ideas.

Looking forward to applying the knowledge gained to drive innovation and growth.
