About the job
About Leaf Energy
Leaf Energy is building premium residential battery energy storage systems for Indian homes. Our LFP battery systems are BIS-certified, compatible with all major inverter brands, backed by a 7-year warranty, and paired with a mobile app that gives homeowners complete control over their energy. We are an early-stage company with an ambitious roadmap — and this role puts you at the front line of how we understand and enter the market.
About the Role
We are looking for a driven, street-smart Field Market Research Executive to be our eyes and ears in the Delhi NCR solar market.

This is a field role for someone who enjoys being on the move, meeting people, and turning conversations into insight. Your research will directly shape our pricing and go-to-market strategy, and the relationships you build will become our sales channel.
