Notably, this platform brought together India’s solar ecosystem and was used to amplify India’s National Solar Mission by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

As Founding Director, Sathya led the creation of the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (www.cie.pes.edu) at PES University. CIE has graduated 1000+ students with a novel method combining contemporary methods (Lean startup, Effectuation, Design Thinking, etc) and collaborative engagement with industry and startups. This approach has been featured in international conferences at UC Berkeley, ESCP Berlin and peer-reviewed IEEE publication.

Sathya contributes to the ecosystem as a Juror/Mentor for startup innovation challenges at the national (IIT Bombay’s AIT, Smart India Hackathon, etc) and international level (UC Berkeley, Founder’s Institute, etc).
