It was from the age of 21 years that Saurabh Shetty embarked on the journey of becoming an entrepreneur. He stepped into the world of business, with an intense desire and dedication to create a successful business. He has worked tremendously hard to reach where he stands now.
His journey began with a company named Solar91. All the partners there at Solar91 were 30 and above. He was the youngest of them all. Back then, all the other partners were Alumni of various IITs , whereas Saurabh was still pursuing engineering from a college located in the rural district of Bellary in Karnataka.
The main motive behind making this choice was that Saurabh wanted to have deeper insights into his family business which was based in Bellary at the time. The solar business was driven by a team of dedicated and experienced individuals.they left no stones unturned to make noise in the whole solar space. Solar91, today, is a fully mature business.
The company today has commissioned about 50MW of Solar Power Plants. The business has grown and Solar91 today has pivoted from its traditional EPC(Engineering procurement and Construction) to RESCO( renewable energy service company) model.
Saurabh hails from the coastal belt of Karnataka. Being from Coastal Karnataka and surrounded by sea food since his childhood, he always had motivation to get into the seafood business. He researched various schemes by the government and also did an in depth analysis of the incentives offered by the government.
