SIMRAN MOHNANI, 2025 Mosaic Fellow

Simran Mohnani is an MBA candidate and Fulbright Scholar at Stanford GSB, where she serves as a Climate Investor for the GSB Impact Fund and President of the Business & Environment Club. A chemical engineer and ClimateTech entrepreneur, Simran is passionate about decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries through climate spinouts, infrastructure innovation, and community-led solutions.

She brings nearly a decade of experience across the climate innovation lifecycle – from scaling bioreactors for cultured meat and reducing waste at Cadbury’s factories to digitizing COVID-19 vaccine production as an Industry 4.0 Consultant. She went on to lead Deloitte Europe’s Circular Economy Innovation Studio, founding the firm’s Circular Manufacturing practice and scaling its CleanTech platform across 12 countries and 45 startups. Her work has been recognized among the UK’s Top 100 Women in Tech and JCI Malta’s Top 10 Under 40 in STEM.

Growing up Maltese-Indian, Simran witnessed firsthand the rising sea levels threatening the Mediterranean and the disproportionate toll of climate crises on girls’ education – an experience that grounds her mission to drive inclusive climate innovation. Now at Stanford, she is focused on financing climate hardware and infrastructure for developing markets and will spend the summer as a Climate VC Associate at Clean Energy Ventures. Beyond her professional pursuits, she is a dedicated advocate for youth empowerment and intersectional climate justice. She serves as a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, One Young World Ambassador and UN Women Ambassador, having founded grassroots networks to elevate youth voices on climate action and girls’ education globally. She aspires to build a net-zero fund – and one day, a school for South Indian girls to study STEM and unlock the untapped potential of women in the Global South.
