Marketing & Events Manager in Chennai | IDREA

IDREA

IDREA works on clean energy and climate action in India. Its work covers decarbonization, the shift away from fossil fuels, and sustainable development, bringing together government representatives, industry leaders, academics and civil society around these questions. The organisation produces reports, white papers and policy briefs, and creates spaces where people who shape energy policy can meet and learn from each other. Its goal is a cleaner, low-carbon future built with many partners rather than by one group alone.

This includes conferences, exhibitions, workshops, webinars, marathons and tree plantation drives, along with the outreach that surrounds them.
