    India's Renewable Energy Surge: Leading the Global Clean Tech Movement

    Ben Backwell sits down with Girish Tanti, co-founder and vice-chairman of Suzlon, to discuss his insights from a 30-year journey shaping India's wind industry, and building the global renewable energy sector.  Girish discusses how a textile family's pioneering efforts in wind technology defied scepticism to push wind energy from niche to mainstream, slashing costs by 70% and scaling from kilowatt turbines to gigawatt farms. Hear the strategic moves that transformed Suzlon from a local startup into a global powerhouse with a diversified portfolio of wind assets. Ben and Girish also look at the evolution of India's renewables policy, the importance of local manufacturing, and how India’s aggressive clean tech ambitions are driving a new wave of international leadership. Girish shares visionary plans to integrate wind, solar, and storage into 24/7 energy solutions, aiming to position Suzlon among the top global players within five years. GWEC's podcast Wind. Powering The Future. explores how wind energy will shape the world around us, and build a clean, secure energy system that transforms energy access, energy security and combats climate change.
