Shashank Sharma is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Sunsure Energy, a leading force in transforming India’s renewable energy landscape. Shashank\u2019s time at IIT-Delhi convinced him that sustainable energy is going to be crucial for the planet\u2019s health. Keeping his serious interest in poetry aside and giving up plans for a sabbatical, Shashank and a small group of like-minded friends laid the foundation of Sunsure in 2014.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last decade, under his leadership, Sunsure has emerged as one of India\u2019s fastest-growing Commercial & Industrial (C&I) renewable energy firms and the preferred renewable energy solutions provider for businesses in India. Sunsure has operationalized more than 500 MW of renewable energy projects across India and aims to ambitiously expand the company\u2019s capacity to 5 GW by 2028, illustrating his relentless pursuit of growth and excellence.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shashank\u2019s journey with Sunsure exemplifies his prowess as an entrepreneur dedicated to energy innovation. His innovative approach, work ethic, and commitment to renewable energy have not only advanced Sunsure but have also established him as a prominent figure in the renewable energy sector. Shashank’s dedication and commitment towards nation building is reflected in Sunsure\u2019s tagline, \u201cMaking India\u2019s Power Move.\u201d His motivation to build Sunsure goes beyond merely empowering Indian industries with green power; it extends to driving community development through energy access and equity. Shashank dreams of seeing an Energy Independent India, a testament to his vision for Viksit Bharat, and most importantly contributing to the country\u2019s goal of 500 GW by 2030.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shashank\u2019s commendable success at Sunsure is highlighted by significant achievements such as securing $400 million in private equity funding from Partners Group in 2022, underlining the company\u2019s financial strength and market confidence. This accomplishment has positioned Sunsure uniquely as the only renewable energy company built from the ground up by young engineering graduates in a sector predominantly occupied by industry veterans and large corporations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His accomplishments have earned him numerous accolades, including the prestigious BW Disrupt 40 Under 40 and Solar Quarter\u2019s Solar Power 100 awards, marking him as one of the top Renewable Energy (RE) leaders and CEOs in India.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
