Summary

Product leader focused on consumerizing electrification: Grandhi has built a career designing products and buying experiences (simulators, calculators, billing insights, referral programs) that help ordinary homeowners decide whether to adopt solar, batteries, EV charging and other electric technologies. He emphasizes buyer-oriented, trust-first approaches rather than seller‑centric tactics. cornell+2
Founder and early‑stage operator with an exit and repeat climate‑tech roles: He co‑founded Sunible (acquired) and later led product at large residential solar companies (Sunrun, Mosaic) before joining early-stage and growth climate-tech teams (Span, WattBot), demonstrating both startup founding experience and scaled-product leadership. prweb+1
Bridges product, design and hardware/software integration: Grandhi’s work at Span included software and product design for smart electrical panels and integrated home energy management (he is listed on patents for integrated panel/EV charging control), indicating experience at the intersection of UX, software, and hardware systems. google+1
Public-facing communicator and community participant in climate tech: He is active in public discussions (interviews, writeups, social posts) about how to grow residential electrification adoption and often frames the problem as one of consumer behavior and trust—an orientation reflected in WattBot’s product strategy. pv-magazine-usa+2
