Q How EKI Energy has been helping organisations across sectors in re- ducing carbon footprints? Manish Dabkara: We, EKI Energy Ser- vices Ltd. are a climate expert with 13+ experience of enabling businesses glob- ally to reduce their carbon footprint through strategic end-to-end solutions. We offer a one stop destination for sus- tainable solutions for climate action- starting from the estimation to devel- oping definitive roadmaps with concrete steps to reduce emissions. Once companies are able to track their carbon footprint, we work with them to help them to reduce it.For this, we offer companies a host of best practic- es and advisory services that they can adapt like carbon sequestration, ener- gy efficient measures like nature based solutions, LEDs and efficient HVAC sys - tems. The project selection and its im- plementation depend on its onsite avail- ability as well as the financial capability of the company. If companies are not able to reduce their emissions through these sustainable op- tions, we help them to procure carbon offsets from the markets and this invari- ably helps them to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero in the long run.We believe in creating value for our customers and endeavor towards this with great perseverance. Today, we are listed on BSE and offer climate solutions to 2500+ clients across 40+ countries. C arbon credit will increasingly become an important solution for climate action. Consequently, carbon credit pricing will also increase as the demand for it soars in times to come. As more and more businesses and organizations become active in cutting emissions using offsets, carbon markets are becoming increasingly robust and attractive. India is expected to witness a drastic change in its carbon markets in the next one to three years as the increasing number of businesses join the climate action bandwagon, opined Manish Dabkara , CMD & CEO, EKI Energy Services Ltd., in conversation with Manu Tayal , Associate Editor, Energetica India. Mr. Dabkara also discussed how his company is helping organisations in cutting carbon footprints, how smart cities can generate revenue while reducing carbon emissions, etc. Here’re the edited excerpts from that interaction: 14 energetica INDIA- Mar_2022 INTERVIEW Manish Dabkara CMD & CEO, EKI Energy Services Ltd.
