Founded in 2010 by IIM-Ahmadabad alumni and based in Pune, Agneya Carbon Ventures Pvt. Ltd is a consulting firm specializing in renewable energy, carbon and sustainability. Agneya has business development offices in Bangalore & Chennai. Currently they serve clients across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu and are looking to expand their operations to other states, shortly.
Since renewable energy/sustainability is a non-core area for businesses/industries, it maybe better to employ a consultant who specializes in that field instead of reallocating employees or hiring new ones for this purpose. Since consultants work on a specialized area, they also bring a certain amount of expertise and experience, which might save companies a lot of time.
I met the representative of Agneya at the recent buyer-seller meet organized by REHENA at Sriperumbudur, Chennai.
According to their website, services offered by Agneya for Renewable Energy (RE) include:

- Detailed monitoring, analysis and reporting of existing renewable energy asset performance and explore potential areas for improvement.
- Help companies fulfill their RPO by registering and purchasing REC (Renewable Energy Credits) from energy exchanges at the right time and optimum cost.
In addition to renewable energy consulting, Agneya also undertakes consultancy in the areas of sustainability and carbon by helping companies design/develop sustainability strategy; carbon emission profiling, reporting & reduction, etc.
