With the advent of Jio, Reliance disrupted the telecom sector and gradually became the largest market player. It has enjoyed the same fortune in oil production. Now, it looks that Mukesh Ambani is crystal gazing at the future precisely. He is making aggressive inroads in green energy production to ensure the company’s market dominance, even in the fast-changing world.

The American company, Senshawk was founded in 2018. It is an early-stage California-based software developing company. The company is engaged in the development of software-based management tools related to solar power generation. It simplifies the process of companies from planning to accelerating the production of solar energy. Sensehawk also provides a digital platform for end-to-end solar asset lifecycle management.

Reliance diversifying itself as per the changing future
Reportedly, Reliance collects its 60% of gross revenue from oil-refining and petrochemicals. But it knows that energy from fossil fuels has a limited future. That is why the conglomerate is trying to reduce its dependence on oil-refining by diversifying into retail, telecommunications and technology.
For a long time, Mukesh Ambani has been particularly pivoting Reliance into green energy. Reportedly, RIL will invest $80 billion over the next 10-15 years on renewable energy and building a new complex next to its refinery.

Additionally, RIL began work on the four Giga-factories at Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex. These Giga factories will set up world-scale production capacity for solar panels, energy storage systems, electrolysers and fuel cells. Last month, he had announced plans to set up a giga factory for Power Electronics.
With all these acquisitions of Solar related companies and building gigantic Giga factories, Reliance is deeply entrenching itself in the energy of the future that is Solar energy. It is all ensuring that the country achieves its ambitious target of 500 Gigawatts Green energy by 2030.
