We offer flexible, structured electricity contracts pan-India. Lumen OS - our energy helps businesses track and optimise the true cost of power (₹/kWh) and brings total visibility and control over how electricity is analysed, paid for, and audited.

You will be a core part of the Policy & Regulatory team, supporting the team on high-impact projects. Responsibilities will include:
Regulatory Analysis: Conducting in-depth research on national and state-level power market regulations in India, specifically focusing on renewable energy procurement models (e.g., Open Access, Net-Metering, Group Captive).
Policy Mapping & Research: Analyzing policy barriers and opportunities for C&I customers seeking 100% Renewable Energy (RE100), including assessing limitations like banking restrictions and cross-subsidy surcharges.
Project Support: Assisting in the development of Energy Transition Roadmaps for large corporate clients by supporting the regulatory mapping and policy feasibility scans for shortlisted technology and procurement levers.
Reporting and Writing: Contributing to the development of thought leadership reports, policy briefs, and policy papers by researching and documenting regulatory landscapes, compliance mechanisms and policy recommendations.
Data & Policy Modeling: Assisting in collecting and structuring policy data to support analytical tools, such as the Site Prioritization Matrix and financial models, ensuring recommendations align with regulatory and financial realities.
Stakeholder Insights: Researching policy perspectives from key stakeholders including DISCOMs, IPPs, EPCs, CERC, and various state-level regulatory bodies.
Currently pursuing or recently completed a Master's degree (e.g., Public Policy, Energy Economics, Business Administration, or a relevant field) from a reputed institution.
Essential: A strong understanding of the Indian power sector structure, including the roles of GENCOS, TRANSCOS, DISCOMS, and Regulatory Commissions, and foundational knowledge of renewable energy policy in India.
