Speaker Bio
Dhruv Jain is a business development leader at CleanMax, with over six years of experience structuring complex renewable energy solutions for global corporations. His work spans the full spectrum of corporate decarbonisation — from distributed rooftop solar to large-scale offsite power supply and, more recently, virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) and cross-border renewable energy mechanisms. Over the course of his career, Dhruv has contracted ~1.8 GW of renewable energy capacity in India, working with leading global technology companies such as Apple, Meta, Google, and Amazon. He has been closely involved in pioneering first-of-their-kind structures in the Indian market, including contract-for-difference (CfD)-based VPPAs, private equity-style co-investments, and cross-border I-REC transactions. Dhruv’s experience spans three distinct renewable energy markets — rooftop solar across multiple Indian states, offsite solar and wind power supply, and emerging global procurement structures such as VPPAs. This breadth enables him to design tailored solutions that align regulatory frameworks, corporate requirements, and internal project constraints to deliver credible pathways toward 100% renewable energy. In his current role, Dhruv leads business development for a CleanMax business unit focused on VPPAs and other advanced decarbonisation mechanisms. He works closely with multinational corporations on their evolving energy strategies, supporting their transition from Scope 2 renewable procurement toward more complex, global and Scope 3-oriented solutions, including carbon markets. Having worked extensively across international markets and stakeholders, Dhruv brings a practical, deal-oriented perspective on how corporates can move from ambition to execution in their decarbonisation journeys.
