The energy storage sector has come a long way in past decade and is seen as enabler for transformation towards greener grid and cleaner transportation. The development of this sector is the result of the hard work and passion of all stakeholders around the globe. To celebrate the growing importance of energy storage, the Global Energy Storage Alliance started celebrating 22 September as World Energy Storage Day (WESD) in 2017. Over past three years, the India Energy Storage Alliance and its partners celebrated WESD with various national-level events to spread the word within each region. This year, with COVID limiting international travel, all the alliances decided to opt for a virtual platform to jointly celebrate the WESD with this unique conference. This will be for the first time that a marathon online event dedicated to the energy storage and EV industry has been organized on this scale with a sole aim of encouraging international collaborations and accelerating adoption of these technologies around the globe.
