ReNew Power Ventures, India’s largest clean energy company, recently started a summer internship program called the Global Green Scholars Program for students at US universities. ReNew is a growing company, backed by fairly renowned institutional investors, and is doing good work in a very important sector – both from a climate change as well as energy access perspective. The CEO is a high school friend of mine, and the students on the Winter Break program with me visited with him for a very productive few hours so you can ask them about it.
In case any of you are interested in applying, ReNew is now calling for applications. You could send your resume and a cover letter to Jayantika Narang who manages the internship program at the HR department, at jayantika@renewpower.in.
