Explanation

The correct answer is Watts Next, whose full name is Watts Next: Innovators' Ideas for India's Energy Security, Agenda 2047. It was an invitation-only forum curated in partnership with BloombergNEF, and its first leg was held on the second day of the summit. Rather than a conventional panel, it had innovators and entrepreneurs put forward ideas on technology, finance and policy for the country's energy system as it approaches the centenary of independence. The speakers included Sumant Sinha of ReNew, Shreya Mishra of SolarSquare, Girish R Tanti of the Suzlon Group, Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT Madras and Meredith Annex of BloombergNEF. Option A is wrong because The Next Terawatt was the ministerial plenary convened by the International Solar Alliance with CEEW and Energiva Ventures. Options C and D are invented names and did not feature at this summit.
