Alternative Energy Company (AEC) may have officially launched on October 3rd, but for founder Shubhda Kaushik, the idea has been years in the making. Rooted in her global experience across project finance, consulting, and energy development, AEC was born from one clear realization, large-scale energy projects don’t fail due to lack of technology, but because of bankability gaps.

As Shubhda puts it, “The energy transition isn’t stalled by technology, but by bankability. Projects falter when policies shift, risks aren’t allocated, or scale can’t be replicated.”

Her mission with AEC is to bridge this gap, blending sharp strategy, disciplined finance, and deep systems thinking to make early-stage green-molecule projects truly investable. With over 14 years of experience and a global perspective, she chose to move beyond corporate titles to create meaningful impact in the energy transition decade.

AEC’s flagship product, 90DAYS™ Bankability Sprint, embodies that discipline, an investor-grade, evidence-based framework that gives founders clarity, structure, and a direct path from concept to capital readiness. AEC may be new, but the insight behind it has been compounding for years; and if you follow the energy transition space, Shubhda Kaushik is the founder to watch.
