Energy Advantage Inc., a leading North American energy and sustainability management services provider enters India’s energy and environmental management services market. Energy Advantage has taken a measured approach to this expansion beginning last year with the outsourcing of some of its back-room clerical functions and IT development work to India through Inforica (a Canadian technology services company with operations in Canada, the GCC and India). This initial partnership has led to the formation of Energy Advantage India, a joint venture with Inforica, which will provide Energy Advantage with marketing and service delivery capabilities in India.
“We believe there’s a large and rapidly growing demand for energy and energy related environmental services with little resident energy management capability today. There is a strong Canadian/Indian business community, and the governments of Canada and India are both actively promoting increased trade between the two countries,” says Rob Kirkby, CEO, Energy Advantage.
“This represents a significant market opportunity for Energy Advantage as the growth in India is expected to derive more from light manufacturing and commercial services than from heavy industry. Energy Advantage’s energy and environmental services are primarily focused on these commercial sectors and their building centric energy efficiency demands. As there is a shortage of peak demand power, the need for energy-efficiency in buildings is of prime importance for India today,” says Pankaj Gupta, Vice-President, India.
