This weekend on The Core Report: Govindraj Ethiraj sits down with Girish Tanti, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, to trace the unlikely origins of one of India’s most iconic renewable energy companies.

What began as Girish’s unfinished MBA thesis — the bold idea of setting up a wind energy company in India — became Suzlon Energy, a venture that transformed a family textile business into a global green energy pioneer.

In this exclusive conversation, Girish opens up about:

Early struggles to make wind power viable in India
Competing with global giants in the US & Europe
Surviving crises, including the loss of founder Tulsi Tanti

Rebuilding into a debt-free, sustainability-driven leader
A must-listen for anyone tracking innovation, resilience, and India’s green future.
