Jitendra Singh Essens Renewables : Jitendra Singh: Powering a Greener Tomorrow with Essens Renewables

As the global economy shifts toward sustainability, renewable energy is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. At the forefront of this green revolution is Jitendra Singh, the visionary CEO of Essens Renewables, a company that’s redefining how India and emerging markets approach clean energy solutions. With a bold vision and sharp execution, Singh has positioned Essens Renewables as a rising leader in solar, wind, and hybrid energy projects across the nation. In an exclusive interview with GreenEdge Magazine, Jitendra Singh shares his entrepreneurial journey, the philosophy behind Essens Renewables, and his vision for a sustainable energy future. Tell us about the journey behind Essens Renewables. What inspired its inception? Jitendra Singh: The idea for Essens Renewables was born from a mix of professional insight and personal conviction. I had spent over a decade in the conventional power and infrastructure sector. During that time, I witnessed both the environmental impact of traditional energy and the immense untapped potential of renewables in India. I knew something had to change. I founded Essens Renewables with a simple mission: to make clean energy accessible, scalable, and economically viable. What started as a small solar EPC firm has now grown into a pan-India company working on utility-scale projects, decentralized energy solutions, and corporate partnerships for carbon neutrality. What have been some of the biggest milestones in your journey so far? We’ve had several defining moments. Our first major breakthrough was winning a 20 MW solar project in Rajasthan just a year after incorporation. That project gave us credibility and opened doors to larger opportunities. Another proud moment was partnering with a global climate fund to build India’s first hybrid solar-wind farm integrated with battery storage. It was a technical challenge, but it proved our capability and commitment to innovation. We’ve also recently launched EssensEdge, a digital platform that uses AI and IoT to monitor and optimize renewable energy assets. That’s a game-changer for the sector.
