BrightNight India Appoints Kapil Kasotia As Chief Operating Officer

BrightNight, a global renewable energy producer with a strong Indian presence, has appointed Kapil Kasotia as Chief Operating Officer (COO) for its India operations, as it looks to accelerate execution of its multi-gigawatt dispatchable renewable energy projects across key states.

Kasotia brings over 20 years of experience in the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors. He has previously held senior roles at Sembcorp, Vena Energy, and Amp Energy, with a focus on scaling operations and business growth.

As COO, Kasotia will oversee operational strategy, project execution, and process optimisation. His appointment comes as BrightNight ramps up its expansion in India’s clean energy sector.

Earlier this year, BrightNight commissioned the first phase of its 115 MW hybrid renewable project in Maharashtra, one of the state’s first co-located wind-solar projects. With this milestone, the company marked its first-ever energy delivery into the Indian grid. BrightNight is now preparing to begin construction on two large-scale projects in Rajasthan, integrating wind, solar, and battery energy storage to deliver peak power to off-takers on the national grid. In addition to Rajasthan, BrightNight is developing projects in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Kasotia, based in Gurugram, will support the firm’s broader efforts to scale its renewable footprint across the country.

Jerome Ortiz, CEO, of BrightNight APAC, said, “At BrightNight, we are committed to attracting industry leaders who can drive our long-term vision. India is a key catalyst in our APAC expansion strategy, and with Kapil’s appointment, we are confident of gaining additional momentum as we scale our portfolio and talent density across the region.”
