Across the emerging economies of the Global South, a quiet revolution is unfolding — one where capital meets conscience, and innovation serves inclusion. At the heart of this transformation stands Avi Mittal, an entrepreneur and investor whose work captures the essence of Atmanirbhar Bharat — a self-reliant India building its future on sustainability, technology, and trust.
Recognised among Asia’s 100 Most Valued Business Leaders, Mittal has emerged as a voice for responsible growth — the kind that uplifts communities while powering economies. As Founder and CEO of Vivid Energy Private Limited and Managing Partner at Golden Ace Ventures, he is helping shape India’s green industrial movement and redefining how value creation is understood in the new world order.
“Atmanirbhar Bharat isn’t just about producing locally,” Mittal says. “It’s about thinking independently — about creating homegrown innovation that speaks to global challenges.” Golden Ace Ventures: Capital with a Cause
At Golden Ace Ventures, Mittal has built more than an investment firm — he has built a philosophy. The fund’s focus lies in backing ventures that embody India’s resilience and readiness to lead the clean-energy transition. By combining financial prudence with national purpose, Golden Ace has emerged as a model for how capital can be both profitable and purposeful.
“True investment,” Mittal reflects, “isn’t about betting on markets — it’s about believing in people. When you empower the right minds, returns follow naturally.”
Under his leadership, Golden Ace Ventures has consistently aligned itself with India’s Atmanirbhar agenda, supporting ventures that build local capacity, strengthen supply chains, and generate meaningful employment.
Vivid Energy: Engineering India’s Green Future
If Golden Ace represents Mittal’s strategic vision, Vivid Energy Private Limited is his passion in action. The company has been instrumental in advancing India’s renewable energy ecosystem, particularly in solar innovation and sustainable manufacturing.
For Mittal, the mission goes beyond business metrics; it’s about rewriting the energy narrative for a billion people. “Energy independence,” he says, “is the foundation of economic independence. A self-reliant India must first be a self-powered India.”
Under his stewardship, Vivid Energy has become synonymous with the green frontier of the Global South — combining cutting-edge engineering with an unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility.
“We’re not just generating megawatts,” he adds. “We’re generating momentum — for India, and for every nation in the Global South that dares to rise through self-belief.”
The New Face of Indian Enterprise
Avi Mittal represents a generation of Indian leaders redefining what success means. For him, growth is not merely an economic goal but a civilisational mission — one that aligns business with the principles of Dharma, sustainability, and shared progress.
“India’s next decade,” he asserts, “will not be built on consumption but on consciousness. The Global South is proving that purpose and profit can, and must, coexist.”
This ethos places Mittal firmly within the framework of Atmanirbhar Bharat — an India that builds, innovates, and exports not just products, but ideas and ideals. Through ventures like Golden Ace and Vivid Energy, he is ensuring that the country’s green transition becomes a beacon for other developing nations navigating the path to sustainable growth.
Corporate Social Responsibility as a Core Mindset
For Mittal, corporate social responsibility is not a decorative obligation; it’s the natural extension of good business. His approach emphasises community integration, education, and rural development — with a focus on empowering those most affected by energy inequity.
“CSR shouldn’t be an afterthought,” he explains. “It should be baked into the DNA of every enterprise. The measure of our progress lies in how many lives we illuminate, not just how many profits we post.”
This humanistic approach has earned him respect beyond boardrooms — among policymakers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who see him as part of a new vanguard of conscious capitalism.
A Voice for the Global South
Avi Mittal’s inclusion among the Global South’s Most Valued Business Leaders is both recognition and responsibility. He stands for a new archetype of leadership — grounded in ethics, driven by innovation, and inspired by national pride.
“The story of the Global South is no longer one of catching up,” he says. “It’s about showing up
— with courage, creativity, and conviction.”
In a world searching for sustainable pathways, Avi Mittal represents India’s most powerful export: vision. Through Golden Ace Ventures and Vivid Energy, he continues to illuminate the way forward for an Atmanirbhar Bharat and an empowered Global South — proving that the future belongs to those who build with integrity, purpose, and light.
