Kumaresh completed his undergraduate degree in energy systems engineering from IIT Bombay, along with minors in social sciences and applied statistics. After graduation, he worked with Black & Veatch Global Advisory on repurposing coal-fired power plants, technical due diligence of power plants for financial institutions, and regulatory landscape analysis supporting the development of low-carbon data centers. Most recently, Kumaresh worked as a research analyst with the Energy Transitions team at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water. At CEEW, his research focused on the techno-economic analysis of solar-plus-storage systems at the distributed scale, the regulatory ecosystem for rooftop solar, and the integration of renewable energy in industries. Having worked in corporate and policy spaces, Kumaresh now wants to influence the interactions between people, public policy, and private businesses, hastening the transition to net zero. To build upon his technical skills and competencies, he will attend the Master of Environmental Management program at the Yale School of the Environment. Beyond academics, Kumaresh loves traveling, reading, and learning more about diverse fields ranging from languages to history. He has traveled to 12 countries and hopes to keep adding to the number in the years to come.
