We develop and demonstrate models that connect sustainable energy to asset creation for poverty alleviation while ensuring financial and social sustainability

The roots of our organization and it’s approach lie in designing and implementing customized context-based sustainable energy access solutions and developing the ecosystem to scale such solutions

Technological

Need-based technology innovation, efficiency and optimization to improve productivity, reduce drudgery and bring in value additions resulting in increased incomes, time savings and offsetting energy expenditures. Other benefits include reduced input costs, increased opportunity costs, health benefits and opportunities created for communities

Financial

Enabling affordable asset-based financing by improving access to formal financing and innovating on financial models and instruments to ensure ease in uptake of solutions by communities.
