6 January 2026

AssetCool today announced the appointment of Prasad Pachegaokar as Vice President of Marketing & Business Development (India), as the company expands its presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing power markets.

Prasad will lead the establishment of AssetCool India and support the deployment of the company’s grid robotics and coating technologies across critical energy infrastructure. He brings extensive experience in market development, partnerships and scaling energy technologies in high-growth regions.

“India represents a critical growth market for AssetCool, as utilities look for ways to deliver more power, faster, on existing infrastructure to facilitate their incredible economic growth,” said Niall Coogan, CEO of AssetCool. “Prasad’s experience in regional markets and strategic partnerships will be key as we expand in India. Our technology enables rapid upgrades to transmission lines, unlocking 100 megawatt scale additions of firm capacity per circuit in months rather than years, helping utilities respond to large, concentrated load growth without major new construction.”

AssetCool’s approach focuses on enhancing the performance of existing infrastructure, supporting utilities in meeting rising capacity and resilience requirements without the need for extensive new build. India’s rapidly growing energy demand and focus on grid modernization present significant opportunities to improve asset efficiency, reliability and sustainability.

“I’m excited to join AssetCool at this inflection point,” Prasad said. “The company has moved from proven science to global, grid scale deployment. AssetCool’s spectrally selective technology reflects incoming solar radiation while simultaneously radiating internal conductor heat away. This enables meaningful, scalable performance gains for existing grid assets.”

India’s continued focus on grid modernization and resilience makes it a natural market for technologies that unlock additional value from existing infrastructure. AssetCool looks forward to building long-term partnerships across the Indian power sector and supporting the delivery of reliable, fast power.
