Rajan Mehta

Book: Backstage Climate

Guest Of Honours

Rajan Mehta is the author of Backstage Climate, a compelling exploration of the science, politics, and economics that shape the global climate crisis. The book distils years of research and on-ground inquiry into an accessible narrative that connects policy, technology, and human responsibility.

A serial tech entrepreneur, Rajan previously worked with multinational companies such as Motorola and Nortel in India and overseas. His career took a decisive turn when he took a sabbatical to study at Harvard, where he immersed himself in climate research and the systemic drivers of environmental change.

He is the founder of Climate Action Labs, a foundation dedicated to developing practical, scalable, and systemic initiatives to address climate change. Rajan’s work today sits at the intersection of innovation, climate action, and social responsibility
