This strategic move not only reflects a unified brand identity but also signals the consolidation of Gentari's renewable energy (RE) business in the country.
Amplus Solar has been part of the Gentari group since 2023, contributing significantly to Gentari's renewables portfolio.

By bringing together our capabilities in C & I and utility-scale renewables under one roof, we are strengthening our foundation to deliver greater value to our customers. Under a united Gentari brand, we intend to take a more unified and impactful approach in accelerating energy transition in India," said Sushil Purohit, Chief Executive Officer of Gentari.
As part of this transition, Sharad Pungalia has been appointed as the Gentari Head of India. Sharad, who has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Amplus Solar, has been instrumental in scaling Amplus Solar, overseeing the growth of more than 2.4 GW of operational and under-construction distributed energy assets.
With over 20 years of experience in India's energy sector, Sharad will now lead Gentari's overall integrated operations in India, spanning its Renewable Energy, Hydrogen, and Green Mobility businesses, reinforcing the company's commitment to supporting India's clean energy transition and contributing to Gentari's global aspirations.
"Sharad's leadership at Amplus Solar has been instrumental in strengthening Gentari's foothold in the renewables space. His depth of industry experience and track record in scaling clean energy solutions position him well to further propel our India operations forward. We are confident that under his leadership, we will continue to unlock significant value for our stakeholders," said Sushil Purohit, Chief Executive Officer of Gentari.
Gentari is focused on delivering the solutions required to put clean energy into action today, to transform how we live tomorrow. Gentari's three initial core pillars of Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Green Mobility form a comprehensive portfolio of solutions to help consumers in their decarbonisation journey. Its mission is to be the leading next-generation Commercial and Industrial (C & I) and utility-scale renewable energy developer, a scale hydrogen producer and go-to industry partner, and to be Asia Pacific's leading green mobility solutions partner. In the long term, Gentari aims to be the most valued clean energy solutions partner, creating greater impact, connecting businesses, and making the journey to a net zero future, possible.
