Ajay has a unique story to tell. He did not, when he was younger, plan on being a Climate Leader. Instead, he did what many other well-educated young people do—he got into business and finance, and made some good money. But, as he explains on the show, something was missing.

Ajay discusses his circuitous career path—his transition from industry, to government, and finally to academia—where he is starting to feel at home. His research and understanding of climate change economics and policy is high-level to say the least. He is widely published in top academic journals, on topics as diverse as: renewable energy, energy storage, China’s de-carbonization, as well as critiques about climate-energy modelling.
