Abstract

The lack of access to clean, reliable and affordable energy solutions for meeting the basic needs for electricity and cooking has created a big barrier in the socio-economic development of the 400+ million people living across India in rural areas. Realising this as a challenge, Selco, Husk Power Systems and D.Light designed and implemented innovative business models to bridge the demand-supply gap. The purpose of this research study is to undertake an in-depth analysis of three self-sustainable business ventures, which designed and implemented self-sustainable business models to enable access to affordable energy solutions for the underserved poor population in rural India.
