In an astute and insightful newsletter issued today, Ranjeet Oak (52), Managing Director, South Asia at Kohler, a renowned business strategy and operational excellence expert, has underscored that the real key to long-term success is effective energy management. Mr. Oak's remarks have come at a time when companies from various sectors are struggling with increased costs, sustainability issues, and the pressing imperative of operational efficiency.

Mr. Ranjeet Oak believes that energy management is not just an environmental or technical problem, but a business strategy that can provide tremendous competitive advantage. By focusing on energy efficiency, businesses can achieve considerable cost savings, improve productivity, and support overall sustainability objectives. He says that energy management is not just about the installation of new technologies and intelligent infrastructure, but about a cultural transformation-where every single employee is empowered to make a contribution to efficiency targets.

Citing recent national action plans and industry best practices, Mr. Oak sets out ten main implementation objectives such as identifying energy efficiency as a high-priority resource, aligning incentives, having strong evaluation mechanisms, and investing in cutting-edge technologies. He emphasizes that firms that actively manage energy resources are better positioned to weather market volatility, regulatory shifts, and changing customer expectations.

Mr. Ranjeet Oak finishes on a call to action: "Success in the 21st century will belong to those who master their energy-both human and material-with vision and discipline. The future is efficient, and the time to act is now."
