At Engage, we champion bold visions that drive impactful change. That’s why we’re thrilled to support Manik Suri and his team at GlacierGrid, a company on a mission to revolutionize cooling — refrigeration and air conditioning — with smart, sustainable technology.

GlacierGrid began with a powerful insight: the traditional cooling sector is outdated and inefficient, leading to significant food and energy waste — two major contributors to climate change and cost. From that realization, they developed an innovative IoT-powered solution that transforms how restaurants and food service operators manage refrigeration and air conditioning. Using real-time data and advanced analytics, GlacierGrid helps businesses prevent spoilage, reduce equipment failure, and save on energy costs.

Manik’s commitment to tackling the climate crisis is evident in every facet of GlacierGrid’s mission. By retrofitting commercial cooling with cutting-edge technology, they’re enabling restaurants — from small local eateries to global brands like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Burger King — to reduce their carbon footprint while also saving money.

Fun facts about Manik:

– Manik helped co-found the Governance Lab at NYU and served on the White House National Economic Council 🏛️

– Manik’s entrepreneurial travels have taken him from Boston to the central valley of California and overseas to Asia before locating GlacierGrid in San Francisco ✈️

– Before becoming a tech entrepreneur, he explored ways to enhance public policy and governance through technology. 💡

We’re excited to be part of GlacierGrid’s journey to make cooling smarter, cleaner and greener!
