Schneider Electric Expands SE Advisory Services in India to Accelerate Energy Transition and Decarbonisation

Schneider Electric has announced the expansion of SE Advisory Services, its flagship global consulting brand in India. The offering is aimed at helping enterprises navigate rising energy complexity, cost pressures and decarbonisation requirements. It combines world-class strategic advisory with AI-powered software and end-to-end project implementation to support organisations through the evolving energy transition.

As one of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets, India is witnessing a sharp rise in electricity demand, projected to grow at over 6 percent annually, driven by rapid urbanisation, industrial expansion and digital adoption. At the same time, India’s upgraded climate commitments as per the latest NDCs — targeting 60 percent non‑fossil fuel-based power capacity and a 47 percent reduction in emissions intensity of GDP by 2035 — are accelerating the need for smarter, more efficient and technology-led energy management.

Deepak Sharma, MD and CEO, Zone President – Greater India, Schneider Electric, said, “India’s energy demand is growing rapidly, but the real challenge for businesses today is managing energy smarter, not just consuming more of it. As costs rise and decarbonisation becomes business-critical, organisations need integrated solutions that combine strategy, digital intelligence, and execution. SE Advisory Services is designed to help businesses make faster, more informed decisions and translate ambition into measurable outcomes.”

SE Advisory Services is designed to provide end-to-end support, covering the entire journey from strategy development to execution. The offering combines a broad portfolio of solutions focused on sustainable business and industrial transformation, helping enterprises advance decarbonisation, digital transformation, electrification, renewable energy integration, circularity initiatives and low-carbon operations across energy systems and industrial processes.

The services also emphasise risk management and resilience by enabling organisations to navigate energy market volatility, cybersecurity challenges, climate-related risks, and operational disruptions. This approach aims to minimise downtime, strengthen connected systems, and improve long-term operational resilience.

In addition, SE Advisory Services focuses on enhancing resource and asset performance through strategic assessment of resources and infrastructure to improve reliability, reduce waste, and create opportunities for future growth. The platform is further supported by intelligent software solutions powered by artificial intelligence and deep advisory expertise, helping organisations connect fragmented workflows, streamline operations, and turn insights into actionable outcomes.

Venkat Garimella, Vice President- Sustainability, Greater India Zone, Schneider Electric, said, “What we are seeing across industries is a clear shift. Energy, automation and digital systems are no longer separate conversations, they are deeply interconnected. As a result, transformation cannot happen in silos.

Organisations need a partner who understands this convergence and can translate it into actionable change on the ground. Our Advisory Services are designed to deliver exactly that by combining sustainability expertise with advanced energy technologies, digital innovation, and execution capabilities. We are helping customers not only identify opportunities for efficiency and decarbonisation, but also implement them at scale and realise tangible business outcomes, while strengthening resilience, future-proofing operations, and staying ahead of rapidly evolving regulatory and market expectations.”

Through SE Advisory Services, the company continues to evolve with the nation, transitioning from an electrification hardware provider to a global hub for energy innovation and strategic excellence. By orchestrating the journey from the grid to the chip, Schneider Electric is empowering Indian businesses to lead the global transition toward a more resilient, sustainable and digitised future.
