Agarwal’s track record as a successful entrepreneur, evident in his leadership at the textile company Nextt and his volunteer work as president of the Dallas, Texas Park Board, speaks volumes about his ability to navigate complex challenges and drive impactful change. He translates these same skills to Nextt AI, recognizing the immense potential of AI to revolutionize India’s energy sector and contribute to a healthier future for its citizens.

Nextt AI’s arrival marks a significant milestone in India’s fight against air pollution, a growing public health concern with severe consequences. Agarwal’s commitment to sustainability, coupled with his business expertise and the power of AI, positions Nextt AI to play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner and greener future for India. This venture aligns perfectly with Agarwal’s values, showcasing his dedication to both entrepreneurial success and making a positive impact on the world.

The Problem: Reducing Energy Production Costs and Toxic Emissions

The volatility in fossil fuel markets has caused utilities to experience energy production cost increases of unprecedented magnitude.
Additionally, in 2021 related CO2 emissions have ballooned to over 36 billion tons, driven by the world’s increasing demand for energy.
Consequently, utilities are seeking innovative ways to address these critical production cost issues and to minimize the damage created by continued reliance on the burning of fossil fuels.

Utilities Are Facing Conflicting Objectives

To simultaneously satisfy regulators and their customers’ needs, they must:

Reduce All Air Emissions

Comply With Environmental Regulations

Limit Energy Production Costs

The Solution: Produce The Same Amount of Energy With Less Fossil Fuel

After 9 years of research and development, AI Energy Technologies has developed and successfully completed a 2 year deployment at a major European utility that has proven to create significant savings.
  • Patented technology called Navigator based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning optimizes energy production and reduces toxic emissions.

  • Audited results validate 1% – 3% efficiency improvement saving millions of dollars and tons of CO2 annually.

  • Requires no upfront investment in hardware, can be installed and fully operational within 3 months, and produces a positive ROI to the utility in the first year.

  • Navigator offers utilities the ability to create the same amount of energy with less fossil fuel while minimizing related CO2 emissions.
