Meet Ananya Saraf: Turning market signals into strategy
Ananya is a Senior Power System Analyst at Wärtsilä Energy, working at the centre of one of the world’s biggest transitions: the shift towards decarbonisation.
Her role is to build power system models for countries around the world, analysing how flexible balancing solutions can accelerate renewable energy integration. What keeps it exciting is that no two energy systems look the same. Each is shaped by its geography, politics, economics, and the realities of how power is produced and consumed.
But it’s the broader perspective that motivates her most.

Ananya is energised by the market intelligence side of her work: following policy shifts, geopolitical tensions, and market movements — and translating them into insights that shape what Wärtsilä does next.

Her message to women considering a similar path: be adaptable and don’t be afraid of how fast the industry moves. No one has the full picture of the energy transition. A strong technical foundation matters, but what sets you apart is pairing it with real curiosity about the markets, the policies, and the shifts happening in real time.
