Lighting up forgotten India.
Bringing 24/7 sustainable electricity to tribal and nomadic hamlets — a community-owned model delivering first-time, decentralised power, and a pathway into the socio-economic mainstream.
A community-owned model delivering first-time, decentralised electricity to tribal villages across the Sahyadri range — governed, funded and maintained by the village itself, and built to reach 100 villages by 2028.
A model already delivering.
Community ownership & governance
Every system is owned, governed and maintained by the village itself — so the power stays on long after installation.
A decentralised electrification ecosystem
Curated technology designed for the community's present and future energy needs.
Not charity that decays — a village-owned asset that lasts.
A community-funded maintenance reserve means the system sustains itself long after handover. When a light fails, the village has both the trained technician and the funds to fix it — no dependence, no decay.
Owned locally. Funded locally. Built to keep running.
The Katkari nomadic tribe
Among India's most marginalised communities — gaining first-time access to reliable, owned power, and a pathway out of isolation.
Scaling to 25 villages.
The next phase electrifies 25 tribal hamlets and 550+ Katkari huts across the Sahyadri belt — selected through detailed socio-economic survey.
Focused across the Sahyadri belt
Villages selected via detailed socio-economic survey and community ownership parameters — across the Pune–Mumbai range.
