EAI Solar Energy Partner Finder

India is already one of the largest markets in the world for a wide variety of solutions in clean energy and environment, including Solar Energy. It will be an even larger market in the near future.

The furious growth in this nascent market necessitates diverse partnerships for businesses small and large. But there was no dedicated platform for partner identification for the Indian Solar Energy sector.

Until EAI launched the Solar Energy Partner Finder platform.

EAI’s unique depth of knowledge about, and breadth of contacts in, India’s clean energy and environment sectors has been built over 10 years – from the time EAI was started in 2008 as the first boutique Indian management consulting firm for cleantech. Our work in Solar Power & Solar Thermal has resulted in industry research leadership and more importantly, a vast network of professional and industry contacts across the sustainability sector and across the entire country.

In addition, our web resource ( www.eai.in ) is one of the most visited web sites for the Indian clean energy and environment sectors, and this further increases our reach and network across geographies and industry sectors.

Stage 1: Sector Understanding

This stage comprises our team providing concise and valuable intelligence on the Indian Solar Power & Solar Thermal ecosystem, in the context of business partnerships. This part of the work will also provide the client an excellent understanding of the profiles of companies that will make ideal partners.

Stage 2: Partner Identification

This stage comprises two components:

• Identification and shortlisting of partners – This part of the work will be predominantly done by the EAI’s team of consultants and analysts. This stage typically starts with a long list of prospects using our network and eventually arrives at an effective shortlist after detailed evaluation and due diligence.
• Coordinating interactions between prospective partners and clients – This stage will mainly involve interactions between clients and the shortlisted partner prospects, with EAI playing an enabling role.
