During pandemic, explored opportunities to leverage the Solarify platform to help larger Solar EPCs to reduced their customer acquisition costs primarily and take advantage of the brand/base built in Bangalore. As SunEdison was organically & in-organically growing the business, they acquired the company Solarify. Since then, I worked in Bangalore market to leverage the existing Solarify platform with SunEdison's distributed solar energy business to increase penetration, sales and market share. Helped SunEdison to launch the new product called Solar roof tiles along with Arka Energy in Bangalore. This state of the art roof tiles seamlessly integrates roofing and solar tiles into a single aesthetic product that can be used as a Gazebo or a full Roof. We worked with housing developers and high-end villa owners for this product.
