Acme Solar names Rahul Kaushik as head of process transformation

GURUGRAM: ACME Solar Holdings Ltd has brought Rahul Kaushik on board as head of process transformation, a move that underlines the company’s push to tidy up, toughen up and future proof its operations as it grows at pace.

With close to 20 years of experience in internal audit and risk advisory, Kaushik is no stranger to complex organisations and high stakes decision making. At Acme Solar, he will work closely with the leadership team to streamline business processes, strengthen internal controls and sharpen risk management across the company’s expanding renewable energy portfolio.

Over the years, Kaushik has advised boards, audit committees, investors and senior executives on building strong governance frameworks that actually work in the real world. His career spans a wide mix of sectors including renewable energy, infrastructure, real estate, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.

Before joining Acme Solar, he headed the internal audit function at O2 Power. Earlier roles at consulting heavyweights Ernst and Young, KPMG and Grant Thornton saw him lead numerous assignments in internal audit, risk management, ICFR and process design.

At Acme Solar, his brief is clear. Build agile, standardised and digitally enabled processes that can keep up with the company’s ambitions and deliver long term value for stakeholders.

With this appointment, Acme Solar signals that while it is racing ahead in India’s energy transition, it is equally focused on putting strong governance and transparent processes firmly in place. Clean energy, after all, works best when the systems behind it are just as clean.
