About Pareexit Chauhan

I am a Product Manager with 11+ years of experience at the intersection of geospatial technologies, environmental intelligence, and renewable energy. My journey began as a GIS analyst and has grown into leading cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deliver AI-powered geospatial solutions that drive sustainability, energy planning, and data-driven decision-making.Currently at IBM – Environmental Intelligence, I lead the productization of geospatial models (biomass, land use change, flood/fire risk, and air pollution), integration with platforms like ESRI ArcGIS, and development of scalable data catalogs that empower enterprises to unlock insights from complex spatial datasets.Previously, I contributed to renewable energy site planning (solar, wind, hydro) at JSW Energy and policy-driven sustainability projects at CSTEP, where I built tools like CREST (a rooftop solar adoption platform for Bengaluru) and worked on EV infrastructure and national wind assessments.Strengths:End-to-end product lifecycle management – from user research, roadmaps, and UI/UX planning to delivery and adoption.Deep expertise in spatial analytics, site suitability modeling, satellite imagery, and renewable energy siting.Hands-on with Python, ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoServer, SQL, and modern PM tools (Jira, Aha, Figma).Skilled at stakeholder engagement, translating technical complexity into user-centric solutions, and aligning product vision with business goals.Beyond delivery, I am passionate about knowledge sharing and have conducted seminars on QGIS/ArcGIS, published research on renewable energy and land use, and contributed thought pieces on geospatial data for policymaking.
