CleanMax MD wears 600 staff photos on suit for NSE debut
Kuldeep Jain turns listing day into tribute to team effort
MUMBAI: When Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions rang the opening bell at the National Stock Exchange of India on Monday, the sharpest detail on the trading floor was not the ticker. It was the managing director’s jacket.
Founder Kuldeep Jain arrived at the listing ceremony in a custom-tailored navy blazer that, at first glance, looked impeccably conventional. A closer look told a different story. The fabric was printed with 600 tiny photographs, each one a portrait of an employee. From boardroom executives to field technicians, every member of the workforce was stitched into the moment.
The gesture turned the usual IPO spotlight on its head. Rather than centre the narrative on leadership, Jain chose to make the debut a tribute to collective effort. CleanMax has scaled up to a renewable energy portfolio of 2.54 GW, supplying solar and wind power to industrial clients and data centres across India.
On paper, the listing carried weight. The issue size stood at Rs 3,100 crore, with shares offered in the Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,053 range. The company’s model focuses on enabling corporations to access renewable power without owning the infrastructure outright, allowing them to pay for the electricity they consume rather than the solar panels themselves.
Jain, a former partner at McKinsey, founded CleanMax in 2011 and has since helped pioneer this pay-per-use renewable model in India. Although the shares debuted at Rs 960, it was the founder’s wearable roll call that captured the morning’s attention.
In a sector often defined by megawatts and margins, the message was stitched in plain sight. Behind every green kilowatt is a human story.

Deepak Bhojwani exits SonyLIV
Advertising executive closes chapter after working on marquee properties from UEFA Champions League to Kaun Banega Crorepati
MUMBAI: Deepak Bhojwani has moved on from SonyLIV, drawing the curtain on an 18-month run that placed him at the centre of some of India’s most powerful television and streaming properties.
Bhojwani served as manager, content partnerships and ad sales at the streaming platform, where he handled more than 45 key accounts and worked closely with agencies to structure advertising deals and brand integrations across major intellectual properties.
The role brought him into the commercial engine room of premium content—from global sporting events such as the UEFA Champions League and major tennis tournaments to flagship Indian entertainment shows including Kaun Banega Crorepati, MasterChef India and Shark Tank India.
During his tenure, Bhojwani also secured key advertisers across marquee events such as the French Open and the Asia Cup, winning the platform’s quarterly “Customer Champion” recognition for exceeding revenue targets.
Before joining SonyLIV, Bhojwani held senior ad-sales and partnership roles across the digital and sports media ecosystem, including stints at Viacom18 Sports, Airtel Digital, Paytm, and OYO. His career spans more than a decade across category building, strategic partnerships, and B2B account growth.
Bhojwani described the stint as a demanding but formative phase that deepened his understanding of the content ecosystem, particularly the fast-evolving non-fiction and sports landscape.
The next destination remains undisclosed. But in an industry where content, commerce and advertising increasingly collide, the next chapter is unlikely to stay unwritten for long.
