Minal Srinivasan is a woman who wears many hats. A corporate leader, entrepreneur, environmental champion, and life-long learner, her story is one of grit, resilience, and a deep commitment to building a better future.
Born in Mumbai into a humble family, Minal's career began in education, shaping businesses across the Asia Pacific for eight years. She was the Regional Head at Aptech Ltd, a natural leader, collaborating with business leaders globally and navigating diverse business contexts. She then forayed into talent management consulting and executive education with prestigious institutions like DDI and was director of the Indian School of Business (ISB) before her role at KIPL. She is currently pursuing a PhD from a university in San Francisco, strengthening her core values.

However, a turning point came when the family called, and she chose the entrepreneur's path as a forthcoming journey. Minal decided to take a leap of faith and join her husband's company, Kesari Infrabuild Pvt Ltd (KIPL), in 2014. Leaving behind 17 years of corporate expertise, Minal delved into the male-dominated realm of environmental infrastructure, marking the inception of her ecopreneurial journey. It was a challenge she embraced with the same passion she brought to everything she did.
KIPL, then a startup, was driven by a shared vision: building a sustainable future through innovative environmental solutions. Minal's leadership proved instrumental. Balancing the demands of a growing family and a fledgling business, she carved a niche for herself and KIPL as a success story in the environmental sector.
Over the past seven years, under Minal's strategic leadership, KIPL has achieved great growth with a staggering CAGR of 100% and a parallel increase in the bottom line. The firm's commitment to excellence in environmental compliance has garnered recognition, consistently placing KIPL among India's top 10 environmental consultancy firms.
Minal's relentless pursuit of knowledge fuels her journey. A lifelong learner, she holds multiple degrees, including an MBA in infrastructure from ISB and is pursuing a doctorate in business model scalability for sustainable industrial businesses. This dedication to learning translates into advanced technology solutions for KIPL's clients.
A dedicated yoga practitioner for over 25 years, she balances her professional pursuits with creative endeavours, including canvas paintings and academic writings. She is a passionate advocate for health and fitness, an avid artist, and a regular speaker on platforms like ISB, sharing her insights on women's leadership and sustainability. Her belief in "Social Capitalism" guides her every step, ensuring business success goes hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility.
KIPL is one of India's leading environmental consultancy firms, recognised for its excellence in compliance measures, water and wastewater treatment, and sustainable infrastructure solutions. The company's commitment to green spaces is evident in its dedication to Miyawaki plantations, with over three lakh trees planted across India.
Minal's story is not just about individual success; it's about the power of purpose and passion. It's about building a legacy, not just for her family but for generations to come. She says, "Earth is not an inheritance from our ancestors but a legacy borrowed from our children." And Minal Srinivasan is determined to repay that loan with a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world.
