Ashok Ranadive
Chief Executive Officer
Hi, I’m Ashok.
My journey began with the Indian Navy, where I led talented engineers and scientists to develop and deploy cutting-edge technologies as a Commander. My journey continued at Google, where I spent 12 years, leading global teams in program management and professional services across multiple geographies, including India, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
Subsequently, I joined a Web 3.0 Blockchain Layer 1 startup to spearhead their partnerships, professional services and program management efforts.
My driving passion is to address sustainability and environmental challenges using technology as a key enabler and I’m excited to continue this mission towards a greener future here at CarbonMinus.
Outside of work, I love playing chess, learning Indian classical music, and reading, and I am an avid traveller, constantly seeking new experiences and insights.
Hi, I’m Vikram.
My journey as a social entrepreneur has been focused on sustainable solutions, transforming old industries with cutting-edge technology. Enriched by a diverse background in finance, mechatronics, and electric vehicles, my adventure began at Maxwatt Turbines (now MAN Turbines), fueling a passion for innovation. The journey continued through leadership roles at Makersan, EDI (now part of Cummins), and e-Traction & Saietta, each experience strengthening and diversifying my resolve.
My recent venture breathed new life into a historic Belgaum foundry, reducing carbon footprints and boosting local employment. Now at CarbonMinus, I’m weaving my expertise to further sustainability and technology.
When the day’s work is done, you’ll find me exploring new trails with my trusty golden retriever, Max, or cherishing family moments that keep the fire of transformation burning bright.

Hi, I’m Nilesh.
My journey began as a BEE Certified Energy Auditor, leading to spearheading research projects at TERI. Now at CarbonMinus, I’m channelling my expertise towards sustainable solutions.
Beyond work, my love for books spans from Philosophy to Science, often leading to deep, enriching conversations about sustainability.
It’s over cups of ‘Masala Chai’ that many of these discussions unfold, each one propelling my dedication to making a tangible impact on our environment through the work we do at CarbonMinus.
Hi, I’m Sucheta.
My tech adventure began in the engineering realms of Microsoft, leading to pivotal roles at global giants like Samsung, Qualcomm, and Vodafone. With a knack for bridging technical intricacies and user experiences, I’ve navigated projects across Mobility, Connectivity, Backhaul, Embedded Systems, IT, IoT, and the Telecom wireless ecosystem and more.
Now at CarbonMinus, my third startup voyage, I’m steering the digital transformation wheel towards AI, IoT, and Smart Cities. It’s not just about tech, but crafting solutions that resonate.
A proud founder of WiMLDS Pune and a fellow at change.org, my mission is to keep pushing the tech envelope while fostering a socially impactful ethos.
