About Varun Thakkar
I was born and raised in Mumbai, India and immigrated to Phoenix, Arizona at the age of fifteen. Upon arrival to the US, I enrolled in a magnet program for inner city schools. My exposure to poverty and community development issues in different cultural settings inspired me to pursue a career in sustainable development and social entrepreneurship. In my current role I serve as subject matter expert, helping to launch new programs and capabilities in the Energy Transition space. I work on a broad range of emerging technologies, ranging from grid optimized fleet electrification, to managed charging and bidirectional charging projects, as well as battery and other DER/DR programs.For the last fifteen years, I’ve dedicated my educational and professional efforts to the green energy transition currently taking place in the utility industry. I’m passionate about creating the strategies and relationships that can help unlock the scale of this transformation. In addition I’ve maintained my focus on social entrepreneurship and community development.
