“The key issue is not the lack of ideas or technology, but the lack of people with the right skills for specific job roles.” In the latest episode of the Renewable Watch Podcast, we sit down with Bornali Bhandari, Professor, and Isha Dayal, Consultant, National Council of Applied Economic Research for a wide-ranging conversation on the skills gap and gender imbalance in India’s rapidly expanding green energy sector. Against the backdrop of ambitious renewable capacity targets and rising employment numbers, the discussion explores why women remain under-represented in technical roles, how training and mobility constraints shape workforce participation, and what it will take to build a more inclusive clean energy transition. Tune in to the Renewable Watch Podcast for expert perspectives, sector trends, and real-world insights that are shaping the renewable energy transition in India and globally. For those who may be new to us, Renewable Watch is the leading magazine covering the Indian renewable energy sector.
