Thiruvananthapuram: In a first for Kerala, a woman majority startup, Vydyuthi Energy Services (VES), has inked a deal with the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles.


With the signing of the agreement, the VES will establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality, promote education, training and professional development for women, implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that empower women, promote equality through community initiatives and publicly report on progress to achieve gender equality.

Out of the 170 companies from India which had signed for the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles, 64 companies are from the private sector, and the VES is the 65th company from India and the first from Kerala.

Kerala is already in the top list of the Niti Aayog for implementing the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles.

At Vydyuthi Energy Services (VES), women help businesses and organizations across sectors to identify energy efficiency drivers and enable them to adopt viable action plans.

The VES was established by an NRI, Anoop Babu from Thiruvananthapuram, who has experience in the renewable energy sector and is involved in multinational projects in various countries, including the Middle East.

Kerala State Electricity Board Energy Efficiency Department is the patron head of VES.
