Our Story
ZNRG was born out of Fulbright research in developing rural markets, where our founder, Karan Takhar, worked on solar panel installations to bring clean energy to underserved communities. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck and in-person activities were paused, ZNRG adapted by launching The Zenergy Podcast, interviewing over 120 climate leaders worldwide to capture their challenges, successes, and insights. These conversations highlighted the urgent need to empower the next generation of climate leaders, leading to the establishment of the ZNRG Foundation to support education, collaboration, and innovation in the climate space. Today, ZNRG has facilitated opportunities for over 200 students to connect with leading climate organizations, hosted two conferences for young professionals, and continues to inspire action through its podcasts and initiatives.
