CEO and Founder of Equiwatt, Johnson Fernandes was inspired to start his clean tech start-up after living through regular power cuts and blackouts in his home country, India. Realising that people heavily depended on mass use of energy, Johnson sought a solution through smart technology and founded Equiwatt in 2015.
