Reimagining India: Unlocking The Potential Of Asia’s Next Superpower - Plot & Excerpts
Venture into one of India’s remote villages, where paved roads and power lines have yet to reach, and in the evening you may find people using one of our company’s products, called the In-Diya. Launched three years ago, the In-Diya is a home lighting appliance, powered by solar energy plus rechargeable batteries, with some models including mobile-phone-charging capacity and small fans. We have high hopes for it, considering that the main alternative for many low-income villagers is kerosene lamps—with all the attendant pollution, danger, dimness, and inconvenience involved in keeping them filled—or just settling down in the darkness. If we are to reimagine India, products like In-Diya are going to have to be a lot more pervasive than they are now. Even if In-Diya doesn’t take off—and we recognize that it still has a long way to go—India needs technologically ingenious solutions to provide on-site, widely distributed renewable energy generation at the end-user point. The country’s continued development and prosperity depend on it.
