LFA Fellow

Prakhar Agarwal is Principal Product Manager at Optiwatt, a company that integrates with EVs and utility providers to optimize energy use, reduce grid strain, and lower EV charging costs. He came to this role with 13 years of experience building and commercializing data-driven enterprise software products, across four startups spanning energy, climate, finance, manufacturing, and geo-spatial technology.

"As a software professional, I knew I wanted to build products that mattered in sustainability, but I didnt yet understand the full landscape - or where I could contribute most meaningfully. The Fellowship opened up the entire problem space for me: the possible solution pathways and the deep interconnections between sectors."

Reflecting on his Fellowship, Prakhar shares: "As a software professional, I knew I wanted to build products that mattered in sustainability, but I didn't yet understand the full landscape — or where I could contribute most meaningfully. The Fellowship opened up the entire problem space for me: the science, the policy mechanisms, the business models, and the people building solutions across every sector. It didn't just give me knowledge. It gave me a map."

Prakhar is working on the unsexy but essential problem of making clean energy choices effortless: the kind of product work that shapes behavior at scale.
