How we Began

Nova Global was born as a legitimate child of serendipity – the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. – very similar to how Uber and AirbnB were born, but under different circumstances.

Once upon a time, when the bigges of renewable energy domains were focussed on creating machines for greener energy, not much focus was given to the maintenance part of them. The investors who invested heavily on these renewable assets from multiple OEMs were left high and dry with the non-availability of a one-stop-solution to monitor and manage these multi-vendor assets. The operations and maintenance (O&M) team were bearing the brunt of not having a handy mobile friendly tool to manage their assets in scope. Moreover the corporate O&M team found it difficult to communicate with the on-field O&M team to manage their assets.

Nova Global team, which was experiencing these gaps, huddled together to devise a product that would solve these problems to a large extent. After discussions about untried methods, we decided to approach this challenge in a pragmatic way.

A roster of celebrated subject matter experts took supporting roles in this idea incubation stage – including SCADA engineers, linesman, operations staff, risk averse investors, Operations managers, the money people (finance team), the logistics people and the people who could architect the solution – the nerds.

With design sprints in the offswing coupled with rational thinking and bothersome pub bills, we implemented a prototype.

We realized if we could articulate this value-add properly, we might actually be able to make a real connection of investors and O&M team. Why can’t we simply change what needs to be changed?

So we met a different set of investors and O&M teams to showcase our solution in the right and meaningful context. What happened next, is, our product was born.
