SELCO Foundation, an NGO established in 2010 is working on building a holistic ecosystem for sustainable energy access. In this regard, SELCO Foundation engages in technical, financial and social innovation, enterprise development, skill building and financial inclusion. The organisation works on demonstrating and catalysing the role of renewable energy across verticals of well- being, health, education, livelihoods and the built environment
With the current climate and energy crisis, the role of a clean, decentralised and sustainable energy source has become crucial. Not only does it provide accessible and affordable energy to off-grid areas, it also ensures a broad space for technological solutions and innovations to counter the current crisis and to work towards enabling the sustainable development goals. Yet there is a huge gap in the sector due to a lack of entrepreneurs/enterprises/organisations across the world, to build and promote a holistic and sustainable energy ecosystem. Selco Foundation, therefore, has been developing programmes to support, train and guide entrepreneurs and enterprises.
To help build the capacity and skills of entrepreneurs, in-depth training on business knowledge of planning and developing an enterprise is necessary. However, there is a dearth of customised and easily understandable learning materials to deliver quality training for the incubatees. With SELCO’s open-source policy and aim to develop solutions for the sector, this project focuses on developing modules to impart business aspects in a format that becomes usable, understandable and with little effort can be contextualised by anyone across the globe.
The objective is to develop training modules for the business plan training of trading enterprise who are in clean energy businesses, services and manufacturing enterprises
The scope of the work is to create customised practical business learning resources for trading enterprises like clean energy enterprises, manufacturing and service to build their business development and management skills.
