MUKUND KAUSHIK - CTO AT INSPIRE

LEADING TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PURPOSE-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGIES

In today's rapidly changing economy, ever-evolving media and technology landscape, and shifting consumer values, successful companies stand for something more than profit alone. Being purpose-driven is no longer exclusive to non-profit organizations; in fact, many tech-led companies are leading the way in balancing profit with purpose to achieve financial and reputational success. This resonates with Inspire Clean Energy, a mission driven, clean energy company that subscribes people to clean energy solutions for their homes and the environment, and its leaders.

The certified B-Corporation was founded in 2014 in response to growing demands for climate action, Inspire was built on the idea that one of the biggest steps society can take toward climate action is the decarbonization of the energy grid.

With 20% of U.S. emissions coming from residential energy use, Inspire offers whole-home energy solutions designed to help

neutralize this impact in an easy and accessible way. It is the first and only company to deliver a flat price, monthly subscription plan for unlimited access to 100% clean energy. Members receive an easy access to clean energy -from sources like wind, solar and low impact hydro- and peace of mind from a predictable price for their home's electricity supply while effortlessly reducing carbon emissions associated with their home's energy use.
