Vinayak Satpute

In brief

• Founder & CEO of Switch Climate Tech, making ESG compliance and carbon accounting simple for businesses of every size.
• Climate tech leader with credentials from Stanford, Harvard, and the UN, and a long-distance runner who lives the sustainability he advocates.
• As the Founder & CEO of Switch Climate Tech, I empower businesses to lead with climate responsibility by simplifying ESG compliance, enabling carbon intelligence, and embedding sustainability into core strategy. Climate change is no longer a future threat—it’s a present business imperative.
• With a background in technology and accreditations from Stanford, Harvard, the United Nations, GRI (KPMG), and TUV SUD, I bring cross-disciplinary expertise across carbon accounting, energy transition, and climate policy. At Switch, we’ve built an intelligent carbon accounting and reporting platform that helps companies achieve carbon neutrality, net-zero, and broader sustainability goals—reliably and at scale.
• My mission is to support businesses of every size—from MSMEs to enterprises—in navigating the sustainability landscape with clarity and confidence. I actively engage with universities, NGOs, and public institutions to promote climate literacy and alignment with global frameworks. I’m especially passionate about the evolving role of carbon credits, blockchain, and how digital tools can make environmental compliance both measurable and actionable.
• I often speak at the intersection of academia, design, AI, and environmental responsibility—simplifying complex ideas and encouraging cross-sector collaboration. Beyond work, I volunteer in environmental initiatives such as tree-plantation and plastic collection drives around Pune. I’m also a health enthusiast, long-distance runner, and aspiring cyclist, having completed several half-marathons and 225+ km rides to promote sustainable living.
• Sustainability is not a checklist—it’s a mindset. Through Switch, we’re making it practical, accessible, and future-ready for every business.
