Role Mission

Plan, develop, and implement energy management initiatives in new and existing real estate projects to drive energy efficiency and sustainability across our India portfolio.

Direct Responsibility

• Global Energy Strategy: Define the energy strategy and trajectory (action levers/costs) on a global scale.
• Energy Purchase Strategy:Develop strategies for conventional and renewable energy (e.g., onsite/offsite PPA, Green Tariff, EACs) to achieve 100% renewable energy.
• Stakeholder Engagement:Prepare materials for strategy validation through a decisional board with key stakeholders.

Energy Management & Sustainability Programs

• Program Development:Design, develop, and implement practices to reduce energy usage and improve efficiency.
• Project Coordination:Oversee energy projects and provide guidance for new construction initiatives.
• Financial Evaluation:Evaluate the financial feasibility of energy projects for budgeting, approvals, and stakeholder briefings.
• Reporting & Compliance:Report on energy and sustainability activities, ensuring compliance with governmental regulations and leveraging available policies.
• CO₂ Reduction:Monitor and build the overall CO₂ emission reduction trajectory.

Energy Efficiency

• Data Analysis:Monitor and analyze historical energy consumption to identify improvement opportunities.
• Technical Assessments:Conduct on-site energy assessments and surveys.
• Technology Research:Explore alternative renewable energy technologies to drive operational cost savings and CO₂ reductions (scope 1 & 2).
• Cultural Development:Foster a local sustainable energy management culture through training and technical support.
• Guidelines Creation:Develop an energy efficiency booklet/guideline incorporating best practices and actionable equipment recommendations.
• Benchmarking:Lead follow-ups and benchmarking initiatives by establishing an Energy Purchase Management Group/Ecosystem and collaborating with global peers.

Data Management & Training for Optimization

• Centralized Monitoring:Implement a system for centralized data collection and performance tracking of energy consumption.
• Data Analytics:Ensure data reliability and use analytics to drive decision-making.
• Training & Knowledge Sharing:Organize regular training sessions on energy efficiency, best practices, and system optimization for store, zonal, and warehouse teams.
• Reporting Support:Develop knowledge-sharing platforms to enhance energy-saving initiatives and support internal/external reporting on energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction.

Cross-Functional Responsibilities

Project Design Optimization – Construction

• Design and implement energy-efficient systems in retail stores, warehouses, and corporate offices.
• Optimize electrical, HVAC, solar installations, BMS, energy storage, lighting, EV charging stations, power backup systems, and automation & control.
• Support construction teams by integrating energy-efficient design principles from project inception.
• Validate and co-develop specifications for new energy assets, ensuring alignment with sustainability goals.

Consumption Optimization – Operations

• Establish and implement best practices for energy efficiency across zones, stores, and warehouses.
• Drive initiatives to optimize utility consumption and reduce energy waste.
• Conduct operational energy audits to identify inefficiencies and recommend corrective actions.
• Optimize renewable energy sourcing strategies such as onsite/offsite solar, Open Access PPA, and Green Tariffs.

Asset Functionality Optimization – Maintenance

• Develop a maintenance strategy for energy-related assets to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
• Oversee regular maintenance of solar panels, HVAC systems, and BMS.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to asset performance and downtime.
• Manage vendor relationships for energy and renewable energy contracts, including power purchase agreements and equipment servicing.
• Provide expertise in energy-efficient building retrofits to minimize energy loss.
