Umang Maheshwari

“Its been a pleasure to work with Umang. He steers the project team in such a cohesive manner that one often forgets that they are representing another organization. Umang is inquisitive and is not scared of talking risks and exploring the new. His ability to work with people with the same dedication at all levels in an organization is highly appreciated. I have worked with Umang on various Mini Gird projects which involved innovation either in technology or in business modelling. His knowledge and enthusiasm to learn and implement about new technologies makes him a leader who leads by example. An individual with hands on experience of implementation in deep rural areas makes him a practitioner in the sector. I wish him luck. ”

“Umang combines the energy and imagination of an entrepreneur with the problem-solving verve of an engineer. I worked under him at Smart Power India for two years, and he's a tireless source of innovative ideas, which blend the excitement of big vision with the grounded practicalities of implementation. We worked on some great projects together, from piloting novel solar-battery electricity systems in rural India, to designing information pipelines and digital visualisation tools for managing distributed operations. But whatever the task at hand, it is Umang's knack for fostering and inspiring partnerships that make him so effective. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better boss.”
