We had an incredible gathering at our Chakra Growth Capital Annual Open House in Bangalore, India where we brought together some of the most influential changemakers to discuss the intersection of #AI and #Decarbonization. Our Managing Partners — Sri Purisai, Saiesh Reddy, Maya Gadhvi PhD MBA, and Mark Joseph — alongside our Principal Vineeta Wadhwani Gupta and Investment Analyst Naitik Udeshi — were thrilled to welcome distinguished guests including k r jyothilal ias from the Kerala Government, Sanjeev Malhotra from nasscom startups, Dr. Rahul Walawalkar from India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), and several leaders from our portfolio companies. Sri Purisai led the discussion by presenting the status of Chakra Growth Capital fund and his vision for the future of #AI and #Decarbonization. We examined the opportunities and challenges AI brings to achieving net-zero goals and explored the innovative pathways for #India to lead the charge in decarbonization in the light of massive energy demand for AI infrastructure growth. Chakra Growth Capital invested portfolio companies Aidrivers Ltd., Bluwheelz, Kazam, Spintly showcased how they are leveraging #AI, #Automation, #Digitization and #Electrification to drive efficiencies in traditional industries — proving that DECARBONIZATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY NEED HEAVY ASSETS. Together, we’re accelerating India’s transition to #netzero! Panel discussions to explore 'Energy Independence: Available routes and possible pathways' and 'Solar, Hydrogen, Alternate Fuels or go Nuclear!!!' were discussed. Alternative Sources for Energy and Role of AI in Decarbonization were highlighted by esteemed panelists – K R Jyothilal IAS, Dr. Rahul Walawalkar, Chetan Maini, Christine Vincent, Vasudha Madhavan. The dialogue was rich, insightful, and forward-looking. We are excited about the future of decarbonization and the pivotal role AI will play in creating a cleaner, more reindustrialized world.
