In this episode, Sareen Malik sits down with Gauri Singh of IRENA to explore what it truly takes to deliver energy solutions that are practical, inclusive, and impactful. Moving beyond high-level narratives, the conversation dives into the importance of decentralization, contextualizing technology, and designing systems that respond to real community needs.
Drawing from her experience across global energy systems, Gauri reflects on the critical role of people in driving transformation, from the importance of having the right talent, to the lessons learned from working closely with rural communities, particularly women, whose lived experiences shape more effective and sustainable solutions.
