The Cleantech Show #017: Cracking the Indian cleantech market - Interview with Peter Castellas, MD, Clean Technology Australasia
The Cleantech Show #017 (MP3 - 15MB - 41min)
India is quickly becoming one of the worlds largest markets for clean technology. With rapid economic growth, coupled with issues of poverty, energy supply, food and water provision and pollution its appetite is steadily growing for technologies, and companies who can work with India companies and government bodies in this sector. Not to mention the growing expertise of Indian companies like Reva Electric Car Co or institutions like TERI in developing cleantech solutions for the world.
Clean Technology AustralAsia recently held the 1st India Cleantech Forum in Delhi. On this weeks show, event organiser and MD of Clean Technology AustralAsia, Peter Castellas, having just returned from India, speaks about the event and more broadly about the Indian cleantech industry and market. We discuss many of the key techniques for companies seeking to establish projects in India successfully, and talk candidly about issues of bureaucracy, style of business, and barriers.
Peter is the joint founder and Managing Director of Clean Technology AustralAsia, a business established to accelerate the investment in and deployment of clean technologies in the Asia Pacific region.
As well as having run successful Cleantech Finance & Investment Initiatives in Australia and China and conceived and developed the 1st India Cleantech Forum, Peter is currently leading a major international project for the Asia Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate. This project focuses on developing a strategic action plan to increase the investment in and deployment of renewable energy in India.
As part of this initiative Clean Technology AustralAsia, in conjunction with the The Energy and Resources Institute India, are undertaking an Asia Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate (APP) project to identify ways Australian companies can participate in the dynamic renewable energy market in India.
