CEO/VPs target 10x growth with AI
“I want to grow to 2000cr from 200cr today” – the CEO of our client said at Chennai Solar Expo. (Not in pics). The role of AI is important, but most important is the ambition & vision of top leadership.
Another VP told me who recently changed jobs said, “This is my 3rd company, I am building sales from scratch. AI, tech & creativity is my super power. I want to grow 10x again.”
Why leadership matters before AI
A decisive leader who wants growth for himself & his company is the most important aspect for AI to succeed. We spoke about same aspect to leaders.
Case study & real examples
Our team showcased how one of our Solar clients got 300+ inbound leads handled via AI in first 3 months. Another case – our own usage.
A CEO of a large company met us in Aug 2025 in Mumbai. Yesterday – He sent us message – “Your team has been following up with me on whatsapp, I want to start with AI Implementation”.
It was actually AI that was following up for roughly 9 months. This is how Solar leads too need to be followed up with automation.
A challenging market
Though all CXOs agree – market is much more competitive. Pricing wars have begun.
Some reasons VP of Sales attributed in Chennai Solar Expo was – “India has accumulated more supply than demand”. “Customer today knows too many things that he negotiates way too hard”
“I deal with the textile industry for Solar deployment in Tamil Nadu, Kerala & Karnataka. Now we have to deal with 2 generations of owners & we seem to have had hard deals negotiating with them” – A VP told us.
How Solar leaders find tech & AI
Yet to these, some CXOs/VPs – that lion mentality of growth is what’s setting them apart. This is where AI is essential.
We showed people how AI can amplify in a tough market.
We can not control the market, but leaders are preparing for better technology, AI & Marketing strategies.
“Muje Chennai ja ke josh bahut aya” – Achal Mehra told me. Business leaders discussing with Achal on AI and SAP was a delight to watch.
Atul Khandar is a master at building a distribution network & we discussed how deep the network needs to be built in India & US.
Turning leaders’ unique insight to revenue
Almost every leader seems to have very unique insight for their industry. So much so that, if it’s capitalized – it may alone be additional revenue of 100-200cr for the company.
Clean Energy & Chennai’s energy
On top – Chennai – we loved the vibe of people, the cultural footprint everywhere. People smiled when we tried to speak Tamil & looked for local food.
Smiling people, great cultural vibe
Clean Energy & AI are some of the greatest paradigm shifts in the economy. But the ambition, vision & leadership of Humans/CEOs, their teams, is what matters much before technology, branding, and marketing.
My salute to all CXOs/Leaders building with vision. Vaayu – AI for Finance & Sales is there to support Solar, EV, Cleantech companies with AI to amplify your execution plan with AI.
Great luck ahead to all Solar leaders,
Vaayu AI Co-workers team
