Speaking a bit more in terms of your career trajectory and the work that really what seems to be phenomenal work that you're doing in Renewal Energy, if you had to look back at your career and pick one moment that you learned the most from, what would it be and why?

Gauri SinghGUEST
You know, when you get into the kind of career that I had started, You know, you get celebrated by the community.

Gauri SinghGUEST
And obviously you're not, but there's just something that you kind of start believing about.

Gauri SinghGUEST
And then, you know, I had this for some years, I was really interacting very closely with the community.

Gauri SinghGUEST
And what I realized was the innate wisdom that the women there, the, you know, the farmers there would bring to your discussion and shape your narrative was tremendous because These were people who had to live a day-by-day kind of a life and had to really sustain themselves in a very tough situation.

So how are we doing when it comes to the global south? Are governments, let's say, aware of the importance that they should initiate the infrastructure work and then maybe raise the awareness among the people to contribute to the overall goals?

Gauri SinghGUEST
So, you know, everyone, because it's very visible, you know, when you put up a large solar plant or you have wind generators, you know, these are exciting projects that are coming to life and generating electricity.

Gauri SinghGUEST
And often these are, I mean, I would really think that governments need to realize that this is as much of your core infrastructure as are roads and railway networks and many other things that get considered as core infrastructure.

Shreya JaiHOST
So I want to first understand from your perspective that how important was long-term policy signals, and clear national targets, which were ambitious then, which continue to be ambitious now, in creating an investor confidence.

Gauri SinghGUEST
So, let me put it like this, that the India story You know, what it really tells you is, of course, the experience is important, but what it really tells you is how ambition becomes policy, how policy then goes ahead and creates markets.

Gauri SinghGUEST
and how this dynamic between policy, markets, and the need for investments in grid storage, financing, and institution building then plays out as you move into a more advanced stage.

Gauri SinghGUEST
So in a sense, this is... extremely good example of the challenges that have been tackled at various stages of this growth.

Gauri SinghGUEST
to how the institutional capacities in India are, to what the status of the grid is, to what the status of the manufacturing is, and also the developers and the ecosystem around it.

Gauri SinghGUEST
So I think that is extremely important because In many ways, India has demonstrated that as access increased, or rather we achieved access in the last decade.
