Bio
Raveena Singi Reddy
From my perspective Gowtham can be described in 3 words. Hard worker, disciplined and goal oriented. He has great clarity on what he wants to do in his life and has well defined plan to reach it. Clarity is concepts of electrical engineering are admirable. Always ready to impart his knowledge and is very collaborative. Passionate about the renewable energy industry. I am really glad to have worked with him while we were at the National Institute of Wind Energy Chennai. If he shows interest in a job, it means he will give his 100% to it. Definitely a great value addition to anyone who hires him into their team.

Highly efficient’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Gowtham. I worked with Gowtham during my tenure as a Junior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Wind Energy, by collaborating on a few projects. I was particularly impressed by Gowtham’s ability to handle projects on wind resource assessment and power evacuation studies, simultaneously and effortlessly. Gowtham was efficient and strong in utilizing software like DigSILENT Powerfactory, ETAP and is always open to share his knowledge with others. Any team would be lucky to have Gowtham, and I can’t wait to see where the future takes him.
