Vish brings over two decades of experience in the clean energy sector, having built and led renewable energy businesses across India and the Middle East.

In his new role, Vish will be responsible for driving Caelux’s market entry in India—the world’s third-largest solar market—and advancing growth across the Middle East. His focus will include market development, operational readiness, customer engagement, and building high-impact partnerships to accelerate the company’s regional footprint.

He also founded a cleantech advisory firm in Singapore and was recognized as a Rising Star Finalist at the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards.
“I’m excited to join Caelux at a transformative time for both the company and the global energy transition,” said Vish Iyer. “Our proprietary perovskite technology will significantly raise the performance bar for solar, and I look forward to helping scale our presence, foster strategic collaborations, and drive lasting impact in these key markets.”
