In the grand theater of energy transformation, where the spotlight is shifting from fossil fuels to sustainability, Siddhartha Gupta stands tall not as a mere spectator but as a visionary shaping the narrative. The Managing Director and Co-founder of Hydrogen Gentech Private Limited (HGPL), he has turned the once-distant dream of green hydrogen into a tangible reality, leading industries toward a cleaner, net-zero future.
A fusion of science and business acumen, Siddhartha’s journey is anything but conventional. With a background in Biotechnology Engineering and an MBA in business strategy, he seamlessly connects scientific innovation with commercial strategy. But his story isn’t just about academic prowess it’s about foresight, disruption, and an unwavering belief in a sustainable tomorrow.
The seeds of his vision were sown at Nuberg Engineering Limited, a global player in industrial gas and chemical process plants, where he embarked on his professional journey in 2012. As a second-generation leader, he didn’t just inherit the legacy; he redefined it. Under the mentorship of his father, Mr. V.K. Gupta, Siddhartha honed his skills in leadership, industrial-scale innovation, and business transformation. But true innovators don’t just improve what exists they create what’s missing.
It was here that Siddhartha spotted an opportunity most overlooked: hydrogen as an alternative fuel. While industries debated sustainability, he was already building it. Launching the Hydrogen Systems division within Nuberg, he spearheaded on-site hydrogen generation and purification solutions. What began as an internal initiative quickly gained momentum, evolving into a standalone force Hydrogen Gentech Private Limited (HGPL) in 2019.
HGPL isn’t just a company; it’s a movement. Under Siddhartha’s stewardship, it has revolutionized industrial gas production, ensuring that industries no longer have to choose between efficiency and sustainability. Its core solutions include:
- On-Site Hydrogen Generation Plants – Customized, cost-effective hydrogen plants helping industries transition away from fossil fuels.
- Green Hydrogen Solutions – Electrolysis-based hydrogen production systems that significantly reduce carbon footprints.
- Oxygen & Nitrogen Generation Plants – Advanced gas generation technologies meeting the stringent demands of industries.
- Gas Purification & Drying Systems – Cutting-edge systems ensuring high-purity gas output for specialized applications.
For Siddhartha, leadership isn’t about reacting to change it’s about being the catalyst for it. His philosophy is simple yet profound:
“Great leaders don’t just respond to change they create it.”
And create he did. Today, as the world pivots toward decarbonization, HGPL is at the forefront, offering industries the tools to not just survive but thrive in the green revolution. It’s no surprise, then, that Siddhartha Gupta was recently recognized with the 40 Under 40 Award in Green Hydrogen Systems by Business Mint a testament to his trailblazing impact in the sector.
But this is just the beginning. The road ahead is vast, filled with challenges and opportunities alike. As industries seek to cut carbon emissions, optimize efficiency, and embrace green energy, HGPL is poised to be their guiding force. From enabling cleaner production processes to accelerating the global net-zero transition, Siddhartha and his team are scripting a future where sustainability isn’t a choice it’s the norm.
In the ever-evolving symphony of clean energy, Siddhartha Gupta isn’t just playing an instrument he’s composing the melody. And the world is listening.
